Opinion | Right Wing Media Attacked Fox News For Trans Policies. They All Have the Exact Same Policies – By Colby Hall (Mediaite) / May 24, 2023
Bigotry against trans-Americans is red hot in right-wing media circles. The Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney outrage-cycle was apparently enough of an audience hit that it has generated follow-up meltdowns, with the latest attacking retail giant Target for an incredibly benign pride month promotion.
Fox News has been an enthusiastic promoter of this anti-trans hysteria. Unfortunately for cable news network, ill-informed mob rule isn’t easy to control. And now the mob has come for them: right-wing website Daily Signal breathlessly reported this week that Fox News has inclusive internal trans policies:
Fox News employees are allowed to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, rather than their biological sex, and permitted to dress in alignment with their preferred gender. They must also be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns in the workplace.
These are just a few of the policies outlined in the company handbook, dated January 2021, a copy of which was shared with The Daily Signal. Fox also offers to help employees come up with a “Workplace Transition Plan” to ease their gender transition at work.
