Zaključno delo obravnava medijsko poročanje o transspolnosti in transspolnih osebah v Sloveniji. S kvalitativno analizo vsebine vzorca 22 člankov štirih slovenskih spletnih medijev – MMC RTV SLO, Nova24TV, Demokracija in Domovina –, objavljenih leta 2025, sem ugotovila, da največ člankov o transspolnosti tematizira spremembe zakonodaje ali drugačno izvajanje zakonov, zaradi česar jih v treh četrtinah primerov obdaja politični diskurzivni okvir. Ker to tematiko spremljajo politične razprave, so politiki najpogosteje prisotni akterji, obenem pa tudi vir, na katerega se opirajo novinarji s svojim poročanjem. Transspolne osebe so bile največkrat reprezentirane kot državljani, ki so jim kršene pravice, zato je ta reprezentacija tesno povezana z reprezentacijo transspolnih oseb kot žrtev diskriminacije. V analiziranih prispevkih so bile predstavljene tudi kot nevarnost ali grožnja, zlasti na področju ženskega športa, in kot aktivisti transspolne ideologije, ki ogrožajo varnost otrok in pravice državljanov. Med seboj povezani sta tudi reprezentacija transspolnih oseb kot mladostnikov in reprezentacija transspolnih oseb kot bolnikov, saj se v vsebinah člankov, ki poročajo o zdravstveni oskrbi za potrditev spola, pojavljata skupaj. Vsem analiziranim prispevkom, razen enemu, je skupno, da ne vključujejo glasov transspolnih oseb, zato o njihovi spolni identiteti in stališčih govorijo osebe, ki velikokrat nimajo neposredne izkušnje s transspolnostjo.

This bachelor's thesis examines media reporting on transgender identity and transgender people in Slovenia. Through a qualitative content analysis of a sample of 22 articles from four Slovenian online media outlets – MMC RTV SLO, Nova24TV, Demokracija and Domovina – published in 2025, I found that most articles addressing transgender issues focus on changes to legislation or on the different implementation of laws, resulting in three quarters of the articles being framed within a political discourse. As these topics are accompanied by political debates, politicians are the most frequently represented actors and, at the same time, the sources on which journalists base their reporting. Transgender people were most frequently represented as citizens whose rights are violated, making this representation closely connected to their representation as victims of discrimination. In the analysed articles, they were also represented as a danger or a threat, particularly in the field of women's sports, and as activists of transgender ideology who threaten children's safety and citizen's rights. The representations of transgender people as adolescents and as patients are also interconnected, as they occur together in articles reporting on gender-affirming healthcare. All but one of the analysed articles share the characteristic that they do not include the voices of transgender people themselves; instead, their gender identity and views are discussed by people who often have no direct experience of being transgender.
