“There's a huge amount of misrepresentation of transgender people.”

Singer Will Young tells @krishgm@twitter.com “it's very difficult for transgender people to tell their stories” because the subject has become so politicised.

Perhaps change where / how people share these stories, A good opportunity to reset the balance and share on fediverse, using say peertube, mastodon etc. That way the Transcommunity can get a real foothold with regard to content and share in, what I see (I am not gay or trans btw) as a far more civilised and accepting community.

As soon as you post to mainstream social media, you let the trolls loose, regardless of who you are.

I am not sure if this is the answer, or what the answer is, but I would say 'just tell your story',

Once the stories / content is out there, it can be shared, boosted etc. Mainstream media will probably eventually pick up on them, they picked up when people left twitter in huge numbers and for a while Mastodon at least made the headlines.
