Trans Voices Wanted!
TRANS (Transgender Resiliency Affirming News Source) news, features, opinions written by trans and gender nonbinary folx. Pitch us your ideas, send us links to your published pieces (if any) and share this form with other trans and gender nonbinary folx. Transgender journalism students, differently-abled trans folx and trans POC are encouraged to submit ideas, pitches and stories, etc.
We are very interested in publishing human-interest stories, profiles of ordinary trans people who accomplish extraordinary things and otherwise uplifting narratives about trans people from anywhere in the U.S. Will you instead be submitting your original work of photography or photo essay? We also are open to other ideas so tell us about them!
About You
We want to protect our community because we are vulnerable, we get harmed and often our rights are violated. Are you who you say you are?
About TRANS
Transgender Resiliency Affirming News Source (TRANS): Founded in 2021, TRANS is led entirely by transgender and gender nonbinary people. News articles, feature stories and all other pieces posted on the site are the work of trans folx. TRANS adopts advocacy journalism, a genre with non-objective viewpoint for social or political purpose. TRANS contributors generally do not believe that the traditional ideal of objectivity exists, largely because of corporate sponsorship in advertising. TRANS is not influenced or endorsed by corporate-sponsored LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations, primarily led by cisgender white individuals rubbing elbows with politicians who may speak out for those living in the margins but do so, expecting a medal. TRANS aims to empower trans people to speak for themselves without counting on the "saviors."

Affirmation
I understand that the information I submit here (including personal information) will be treated with confidentiality. (TRANS recognizes that our privacy is often invaded by those from outside of our community. This is reflected in how the mainstream media outlets teach the general public to talk about our bodies as if we were objects).
Let Us Know!
What is your pitch/ idea that you hope to develop into a news story feature article or or opinion piece? Give us an estimate of your word count (as short as 500 for news and 1500 max for feature length). We welcome contributors from anywhere in the U.S. at this time. Please do mention in which geographical region or town, city and state you will be based.
