Why do news networks not interview us?
I know the answer, but it's very odd to me that during the push for gay rights, many news outlets would feature gay spokespeople on television. I think this kind of representation helped immensely in the push for equal protections and gay marriage.
But when it comes to trans rights many of these outlets, many of whom pride themselves on being "fair" and "letting both sides speak", dont interview actual trans people on there. I think it would help a lot if we could actually have some trans representatives on TV in front of people to show them that we are people too
