The Trans Journalists Association (TJA) is a professional membership organization dedicated to promoting accurate and nuanced coverage of trans issues and communities in the media. They also provide support to gender-expansive journalists in their workplaces and careers. Since its founding in 2020, the TJA has collaborated with newsrooms, affinity groups, and journalism-supporting organizations to establish best practices for covering trans people in all contexts.

Central to their work is the maintenance of a comprehensive style guide that addresses common and complex questions that arise when reporting on trans communities. Their global membership includes a diverse range of media professionals spanning various formats, experience levels, and coverage areas. The TJA welcomes the participation of gender-expansive journalists and allies who are interested in supporting their mission.

With a dedicated board of directors, the TJA is guided by experienced leaders in the field of journalism who bring valuable expertise to the organization. To support the TJA, you can make a donation to help sustain their growth or share their valuable resources, such as their style guide and employer best practices, with your newsroom and colleagues.

If you are a trans, nonbinary, or gender-expansive person working in media, you can join their online spaces to connect with like-minded professionals. The TJA also offers one-off trainings for newsrooms and is developing a robust training curriculum. If your newsroom is hiring, you can send the listing to their jobs email list.

Journalists willing to donate their time and expertise can lead skills trainings for TJA members. Additionally, news organizations and conferences can collaborate with the TJA on programming related to best practices for trans coverage or employer policies
