"Framing legislation that seeks to exclude trans people from having equal rights as a culture war reduces the trans community to a political football in an abstract policy debate. No longer is this an issue about access to life-saving health care; legislation that focuses on trans Americans is a 'wedge issue' that reflects America's polarization.

"Relegating legislation preventing trans people from being able to take part in the public sphere to a culture war issue is just one way the media downplays what's happening through a cisgender lens.

"Many outlets don't even include trans voices in pieces about the rights of trans people. [...]"
