Abstract

In the United States pioneering studies about the representations of the transgender community in news media (Billard, 2016, Capuzza, 2016, Fischer, 2018) and the experiences of trans and nonbinary journalists (Fischer, 2025) have been underway. In contrast, this group of marginalized journalists remains understudied in Germany despite a legal recognition of persons who do not identify as woman or man in the country since 2018. Hence, this study asks:

How do genderqueer journalists in Germany experience their profession?

This qualitative study analyzed how genderqueer journalists in Germany experience their careers and professions and applies intersectionality and standpoint epistemology as theoretical approaches. Based on interviews with eight public-service broadcast journalists, this study finds intersectional inequality, professional boundary work, and epistemic exclusion shape these journalists' individual trajectories, journalistic work processes, and the profession at large.
