Trans Coverage in the media improving?

I am a huge fan of Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) and they have a very good analysis of the way the trans issue is being covered nowadays.

Usually FAIR is blasting outlets for glaring omissions and biases but this piece has a little bit of praise and criticism for the current state of trans coverage.

Read it here.

In Michigan we still routinely have to deal with editors running headlines like "transexual charged with prostitution" when they would never run something like "Italian charged with prostitution."

Luckily most press coverage in Michigan has been good but I fear that many reporters avoid the topic due to lack of familiarity and not wanting to mis-step on terminology.
