    Media coverage of transgender and gender diverse people has an impact. Today, we signed a letter with @glaad and over 100 other orgs to demand better, more accurate coverage.
    We’ve had enough. We’ve joined over 100 organizations and leaders to demand that @nytimes stop printing inaccurate and harmful misinformation about transgender people and issues. Today we are outside of the Times building to send a clear message. glaad.org/nytimes

    Please share this. Trans people in the US need protected civil rights just as they do all around the world. Other countries may have access to human rights protections, but people in the US do not.
    "I was living the American Dream. All of that was stripped from me in seconds." Carter Brown was fired from his job after being outed as transgender. He continues to advocate for the #EqualityAct to protect him & countless other LGBTQ people from discrimination in the workplace.
