Abstract
ABSTRACT At present the increased visibility of trans young people as agentic actors within the media is paired with ongoing negative media coverage of trans young people’s lives. Further, in order to secure visibility within the media trans young people are often expected to adhere to transnormative framings. This commentary highlights the need for a focus on how trans young people resist, rework, and engage with such framings, and for mechanisms that support trans young people’s right to determine how they will be portrayed in the media.
