Mainstream coverage of transgender life is falling short, while transphobic propaganda on the right grows louder and more insistent every day. Assigned publishes factual, up to date, responsible coverage of trans issues, allowing trans people and our allies to understand where the mainstream narratives come from and separate the truth from the lies. Recently, our Trans Data Library project launched, providing a searchable resource for basic information on the individuals and organizations involved in anti-trans activism.

Assigned Media is brings high quality reporting, analysis, and humor to the transgender community and its allies. Founded by Evan Urquhart in 2022, Assigned’s main focus is on science journalism and media criticism.
