Corporate Media Enabled Trump's Anti-Trans Policies
Shared by Samantha Borek | truthout.org | 2018-10-24
To my knowledge, I am currently the only openly transgender Capitol Hill reporter, maybe the only one in history. Almost every day, I walk the halls of the Senate or House office buildings, trying to do my job alongside an entirely cisgender press corps.

No one bats an eye at my presence, not even the most arch-conservative folks milling about the Capitol on any given day. | But even inside my…
