All About Trans is a project that aims to improve how the media understands and portrays transgender people. Its aim is to "promote trans voices in the media" and engage media professionals (such as journalists, presenters and editors) and other sector professionals with trans topics in creative ways.[1]
The project is managed by On Road Media, a charity that "tackles social problems by improving media coverage of misrepresented groups and issues".[2] All About Trans is supported and led by an advisory group made up of individuals and organisations from within the trans community and consultants including journalist Paris Lees, filmmaker Fox Fisher[3] and pilot Ayla Holdom.[4]
The work is funded and supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.[5] Previous funders include the BBC[6] and Channel 4.[7]
