"The Advocate has learned that an independent review of Fox News over nine months reveals the number one rated cable news network did not invite a single openly transgender person to appear as a guest to discuss transgender issues.
The report was compiled by the non-profit, news watchdog Media Matters. The organization's website makes no bones about its mission, declaring it is "dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.""

This is outrageous. Our community needs to object with the strongest voice we can. Nearly all out problems are due to cisgender people telling us who we are. This is a perfect example.
