Exit polls suggest that it’s still unpopular: In Virginia, half of voters said that they viewed the Democratic Party unfavorably. That distaste didn’t hurt Spanberger and her ticket, because 18% of those unhappy voters backed her anyway. Fifty-one percent of voters said that “support for trans rights” had gone too far, after Earle-Sears and other Republicans in Virginia pounded Democrats on the issue. The Trump administration threatened to cut funding for suburban school boards that retain inclusive gender policies. But 22% of voters who agreed with Earle-Sears on the issue voted for Spanberger anyway.

A screenshot of part of a statement from the Trans Journalists Association regarding reporting on Charlie Kirk shooting investigation: It should also be noted that “transgender ideology” is a term coined for and used in anti-trans political messaging to falsely equate identity with politics, which is a way to frame transgender identity as a political choice rather than an innate identity. As it is often unclear what actions or political positions the phrase actually refers to — not unlike how “the homosexual agenda” is an amorphous term that has no real definition — reporters should be careful about using this term; it is used exclusively to attack a minority group for political gain.

The Trans Journalists Association urges caution in covering the HHS report on gender care With the recent release of a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report on gender-related medical care for trans youth, the Trans Journalists Association urges newsrooms and journalists repor...

While this report presents itself as an apolitical “review of evidence and best practices,” it deserves the same scrutiny and careful fact-checking as any government-produced document. Journalists should quote it only with appropriate context and after thorough vetting.
