Challenging media hostility, inaccuracy, and moral panicsβand campaigning for fair, ethical reporting for trans and gender-diverse people.
Founded in 2009, Trans Media Watch (TMW) is a national charity dedicated to improving media coverage of trans and intersex issues across the UK.
Working with journalists, broadcasters, regulators, policymakers, and trans communities, TMW challenges inaccurate, dehumanising, and hostile reporting while providing clear guidance and evidence to help the media report with accuracy, dignity, and fairness.
Why Trans Media Watch & Media Revolution Are Allies
For nearly a decade, billionaire-owned newspapers have manufactured and amplified a relentless moral panic targeting trans people and their civil rights.
As recent research partnered with Trans Media Watch highlights, anti-trans media coverage is not an isolated phenomenon – it is used by a concentrated, unaccountable press and outrage-driven clickbait models as a political wedge to undermine wider human rights, equality frameworks, and marginalised communities.
Media Revolution and Trans Media Watch share a fundamental conviction: a healthy, democratic society requires a media system held to account for accuracy, ethics, and human rights, rather than billionaire agendas and division.
Together, we are working to expose manufactured press hostility, demand meaningful regulatory accountability, and build a media landscape that serves everyone.
