Fact Checking
The TransAdvocate aims to improve the lives of transgender people through investigative news and nuanced commentary from a boots-on-the-ground trans advocate perspective. What sets the TransAdvocate apart is its commitment to publishing contextual pieces based on original investigative effort and research. In other words, we don’t simply repeat the news from other media sources, we report the news as discovered through actual investigative work and fact-checking. Specifically, the TransAdvocate focuses on watchdogging media tropes and misinformation that gains social currency, negatively affecting the material condition of trans and intersex people. We’re willing to do what it takes to expose hate — especially when hate is being peddled as reason, faith, or journalism.
In 2019, the United States Library of Congress selected the TransAdvocate for inclusion in its historic collection of Internet materials related to the LGBTQ+ Studies Web Archive.
Curated and corpus-generated reading pathways will appear after the publication analysis is built.
