Summarization
Trans Journalists Association (TransJA) is calling on the New York Times to recognize that their coverage of trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming persons has contributed to harmful narratives with life and death consequences. They are offering a style guide to help journalists and others avoid common pitfalls, and wishing for accurate and respectful writing. Accurate writing includes avoiding deadnaming trans individuals, and giving them the option to change their name without cause or explanation. Retaliation toward trans journalists and those allied with them is being condemned.

| 1625929746889723910 | Today I join @TransJA and other media workers calling on the @nytimes to recognize that their coverage of trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming folks has contributed to the harmful narratives that have life and death consequences on our communities. https://t.co/Q5vsJbt10T https://t.co/5K6YGnrfdQ | 48 |

| 1625994176360857602 | Interesting that orgs like @TransJA , who signed on as a collective, are not mentioned by Stadtlander. TJA has repeatedly over the past year had to issue guidance & fact checks directly in response to whatever @nytimes has published that day. Our mission is also journalistic. Or https://t.co/0jpyK32tLV | 4 |
| 1626330659441590274 | This is all but an explicit promise of retaliation toward trans journalists & those allied with them for issuing criticism of mediocre/poor coverage. This is concerning bc (among other things) it signals a willingness to consider groups like @TransJA as illegitimate in our --> https://t.co/IHhDBJLAW7 | 4 |
| 1628066045985447936 | @TransJA I regularly put out calls like this one for name changes on site. In them, I offer any current or former contributor the opportunity to reach out with a new name and quickly update it in our CMS.

| 1625175920037269504 | Never a bad time to repost the @TransJA's style guide, I suppose, especially if you're wondering why all this matters: https://t.co/ExiwraQGUy | 2 |
| 1625942911039983617 | The @nytimes continues to publish extremely harmful and biased anti-trans pieces of writing. I am joining my siblings at @TransJA to sign a letter calling on NYT to reform its policies.

| 1628065657110528002 | context: I'm a web producer and manage most of our site. I'm also a member of the @TransJA and a trans woman who transitioned on the job. | 19 |
| 1628066045985447936 | @TransJA I regularly put out calls like this one for name changes on site.

| 1628068504774606848 | @TransJA deadnames are also frequently used to doxx and harrass trans people online. But if you're into "journalistic standards" or something like that, they're also just factually inaccurate. They're bad reporting, misinformation. They don't belong online. | 17 |
| 1628067667146833920 | @TransJA why is this important? as a trans writer whose work appears on many sites, I'm reluctant to share work with my deadname on it. it's hard to be proud of work that calls me a name i have negative associations with. | 17 |
| 1628067160957366272 | @TransJA also important: I do not ask for legal documentation, and i specify that people can change their name for any reason OR without a reason. this is a service to trans people, but also to people who are recently married, or don't like an old nickname, or with typos in their bios | 17 |
| 1628066579572301825 | @TransJA important! I never asked permission to do this! and while my bosses have been supportive of my calls online/have shared them with their networks, it was just a thing I started doing one day | 17 |
