The Rise of Transgender and Gender Diverse Representation in the Media: Impacts on the Population

By Richard Mocarski et al., 2019

Although these voices are being heard, there are limits on the types of TGD representation displayed in media. The current study interviewed 27 TGD individuals.

Clearly, there is a disconnect between transnorma- tivity in the media and transnormativity in reality.
