I've been catching up on my news tracker, and you could throw out all the rest of my data and get an eerily accurate sense for whether a news organization's editorial tone is open-minded or hostile towards the trans community based purely on whether the word cisgender ever appears in a news item.

If the word cisgender is used - at any time, by any writer - the entire news organization exists in a reality where the word transgender is a neutral description of a type of person. If the word is never used the news organization exists in a reality where transgender is negative.
