Transgender people in Australia are facing rising levels of hate and discrimination – and according to advocates, irresponsible media reporting is partly to blame. 

Some outlets have focused on stories of transgender people transitioning back to the sex they were assigned at birth, despite this being an extremely rare and complex experience among the trans community. 

Today, chief executive of Transcend Australia, Jeremy Wiggins, on the attacks on transgender people in Australia, and the role of the media in telling their stories.
