TJA Membership Request Form
Thank you for your interest in joining the Trans Journalists Association! Membership is free and welcome to anyone who's trans, non-binary, and/or not exclusively the gender they were assigned at birth.
Right now, members tend to receive their invitation 4-8 weeks after they apply. We are a volunteer-run organization processing applications as quickly as we are able.
Membership approval grants you access to an online community of TJA members sharing job opportunities, mentoring one another, having discussions about our industry, and supporting one another in other ways. We may reach out to you for additional information to ensure the safety of our members.
We reserve the right to deny membership due to behavior that includes, but is not limited to, hateful or discriminatory rhetoric (including racism, xenophobia, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, etc), bullying, harassment, abusive or demeaning conduct, and other behavior that stands in opposition to our values and the community we're building.
If you have questions about membership or this questionnaire, you can email
