The Transgender Equality Network Ireland published "new media style guidelines to help promote positive and respectful reporting on transgender people and on trans* related issues".

"These new guidelines aim at helping journalists and media professionals bring about positive change by using language that is respectful and that protects the privacy and dignity of trans* people. The aim is to encourage respectful – not sensational – reporting on trans* people and communities, and to help people feel more comfortable around the language to use when reporting on trans* issues."
