@melwoods.meReposted by @transjournalists.orgEven if you think you know everything, I promise this get some of the stickier situation that arise in doing journalism today.

@oriion.bsky.socialReposted by @transjournalists.orgBefore I started hormone therapy, I studied all the side effects and knew what to expect long before my first doctor’s appointment. But it wasn’t until I put my reporter hat on that I realized how much more there is beneath the surface. And it’s really cool.

@assignedmedia.orgReposted by @transjournalists.orgLate last week, the HHS released a report claiming to show a link between "transgender ideology" and political violence.
