Organisations challenging the status quo sometimes make bold claims on rather slender evidence. Trans Media Watch doesn’t just rely on the experiences of its team members but undertakes research into the way media affects trans and intersex people’s lives, as well as drawing on research done by others. If you work in the media, we hope this research will also be useful to you.
