A page from Amnesty’s report on the GC movement in the UK The role of the media in the growth of the GC movement Ongoing disproportionate levels of reporting Between January 2020 and April 2025, the four outlets combined published 17,000 (16,913) articles, an average of 264 articles per month, or 9 articles per day. The Times & Sunday Times have the most coverage, with an average of 83.5 articles per month; the Sun has the least, with an average of 38 articles per month. Coverage increased particularly in 2022 and 2023. However, a rapid increase in coverage started before 2020. Previous Corpus Linguistics Analysis has shown a sharp growth in the amount of press coverage related to so-called 'trans issues 38 with roughly three and a half times as many articles in 2018-19 compared to 2012. In addition to increased volume, the sentiment of the coverage was negative, with trans people increasingly described as involved in controversy, demanding or aggressive and with a propensity to be offended. The Corpus Linguistics Analysis Amnesty International UK carried out shows that coverage remains high and entirely disproportionate to the size of the trans population, which, according to the 2021 Census, represents 0.5% of the population (262,000 people)". Coverage is also disproportionate to the public interest and to the degree of influence trans people have in society. For example, ahead of the 2024 General Election, issues related to trans rights or 'sex' and 'gender' did not figure in the top 16 concerns of voters41. However, based on a study of press reports ahead of the election, issues of sex, gender and sexuality were by far the most reported amongst 'culture war' issues in the four weeks ahead of the election?.
