The media is pervasive in the society. Media is crucial in the spread of information. The transgender community often gets misrepresented in the media. The media significantly shapes public perceptions, attitudes, and understanding of various social issues. Over the years, media coverage of transgender individuals has undergone a transformative evolution, reflecting a growing awareness and commitment toward inclusivity. Transgender individuals, historically marginalized and misrepresented in the media, are now given more visibility and representation. This shift in media coverage is a crucial step towards fostering a more inclusive society and promoting the rights and dignity of transgender individuals. While progress is still being made, there has been a notable increase in visibility and understanding of transgender issues within the media landscape. This paper examined the evolving media coverage of transgender individuals and also explored positive representation, notable initiatives, and the impact of these changes on public perceptions and transgender visibility.

"Recent U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) policy banned transgender personnel from serving openly in the military. Potential changes to this policy raised questions regarding access to gender transition--related health care, the range of transition-related treatments that DoD will need to provide, the potential costs associated with these treatments, and the impact of these health care needs on force readiness and the deployability of transgender service members. A RAND study identified the health care needs of the transgender population and transgender service members in particular. It also examined the costs of covering transition-related treatments, assessed the potential readiness implications of a policy change, and reviewed the experiences of foreign militaries that permit transgender personnel to serve openly"--Publisher's description

Policy regarding the inclusion of transgender soldiers in the U.S. military has shifted back and forth in recent years, with public opinion likely a significant factor shaping the eventual policy outcome. As such, this study examines the factors that shape public attitudes toward military service by transgender people. In particular, we examine the influence of sex, social gender roles, and attitudes toward gender in shaping transgender military service attitudes. Further, we hypothesize that personal experiences with the military and with transgender people, along with values, personality predispositions, and religion, are likely to influence individual attitudes. We test these hypotheses using data from a unique October 2015 national survey of American adults. The results suggest that personal experiences, attitudes toward gender roles, and religion have substantial, but sometimes conditional effects on attitudes towards military service by transgender people. ; University of toledo ; University of Kansas ; UCLA school of law ; Ohio University
