New report warns UK media features 'disproportionate' negative coverage of trans issues

Amnesty International has revealed the disproportionate scale of media coverage of trans people in the UK, despite trans communities representing just 0.5% of the population. Analysing UK media coverage between January 2020 and April 2025, Amnesty found that four major UK news outlets produced almost 17,000 articles on trans-related issues, averaging 9 stories per day. Researchers argue that the scale of reporting far outweighs both public interest and the actual influence trans people hold within British society.
