BuzzFeed and transgender people

BuzzFeed is an American media organization that consistently posts fair and accurate reporting about trans and gender diverse people.

Background

BuzzFeed was founded in 2006 as a news aggregator focusing on viral content. It soon became one of the primary clickbait sites, known for quizzes, listicles, and effectively strip mining the internet for content.

In 2011, they founded BuzzFeed News, which continued until 2023. During that time, anti-trans activists Virginia Hughes and Azeen Ghorayshi worked there together before moving to the New York Times.
