Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

TO DEVOTE four pages to Brazilian transvestites with 'case studies' and pseudo medical/ forensic photographs presented as serious journalism was professionally and editorially dishonest. If I wanted salacious reading matter I would buy the News of the World.

As a woman, I also found the article's title 'The silicone sisterhood' and the constant use of she/her throughout outrageous. However wee their willies (as Billy Connolly might say) these are still men.
