QueerAF Podcast: Season Six, Episode Ten – This year, for the first time since tracking of it began - Trans+ rights in Europe retracted, instead of grew. In the UK, hate crimes towards trans people are up nearly 1400% in the last decade. Meanwhile, as this hate plays out on the streets - the addiction in some parts of the media to hateful, clickbait headlines that drive attention to news providers, but division in communities all over the world has continued. This week on QueerAF we’re going to ask: What is the media's role in rising transphobia? How can the advertising industry change the media? What can we, as individuals, do about this - can we play a role at work to advocate for better responsibility from businesses? - listen now in your podcast app
