The task of reporting is not a simple one. Each and every day, reporters and editors at publications like The Onion make difficult decisions about which issues should receive attention, knowing that our coverage will influence not only how people think, but also how they act. This responsibility is at the core of an ongoing debate over whether news coverage of transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people is unduly biased. As the world’s leading news publication with a daily readership of 4.3 trillion, The Onion is compelled to weigh in.

    This is a fucking great indictment of the media. I love that the staff signed it.

      I agree, but that’s not the staff’s signatures. Not unless they have dead people on staff.

        Let’s not bring prejudice against the dead into a perfectly good discussion of prejudices against trans people.
