Seventeen magazine has featured an article called "
my boyfriend turned out to be a girl" that describes a female-to-male transgender man as "lying" about his identity.
"Rather than use this opportunity to educate readers about transgender issues, it never once even uses any terminology (well, unless you consider the slur "he-she") but instead furthers the common transphobic assumption that someone who's gender does not match their sex assigned at birth Seventeen Magazine: My Boyfriend Turned Out To Be A Girl (Article Cover)is a deceptive liar and even compares them (at the bottom) to perverts, drug addicts, and older dad's trying to get someone young w/o disclosing their parental/age status" (Organizer - Ariel Busmante).
Take action by
emailing Seventeen magazine to apologize and represent transgender people in a positive light.
