Corrections Policy
How Trans United Fund corrects factual errors, handles updates, and preserves transparency in the public record.
Purpose
Trans United Fund is committed to factual accuracy, transparency, and accountability.
When a substantive error is identified, we correct it promptly and clearly. Corrections are intended to preserve the integrity of the public record, not to erase the fact that an error occurred.
What We Correct
We correct material factual errors involving:
names
dates
locations
quotations
identities
pronouns
legal status
public records
policy descriptions
official actions
chronology
outcomes
other facts that affect the meaning or accuracy of the reporting
What May Be Updated Without a Formal Correction
Minor edits may be made without a formal correction notice when they do not change the substance of the reporting.
These may include:
spelling
punctuation
grammar
formatting
broken links
image placement
minor clarity edits
headline or subtitle refinements that do not alter the facts
Material Corrections
When a substantive factual correction is made, the affected article may include a correction note stating:
what was incorrect
what the correct information is
when the correction was made
We do not silently rewrite material factual errors.
Updates
Articles may be updated when new verified information becomes available.
An update is not the same as a correction. Updates may add:
newly confirmed facts
official responses
court developments
policy changes
revised public records
additional context
later outcomes
When an update materially changes the understanding of a story, an update note may be added.
Allegations and Developing Stories
Early reporting may involve incomplete or disputed information.
We distinguish clearly between:
confirmed facts
allegations
official claims
witness accounts
unresolved questions
later verified developments
If a claim is later disproven, materially contradicted, or clarified by stronger evidence, the article will be corrected or updated as appropriate.
Identity, Pronouns, and Personal Information
Errors involving a person’s name, identity, pronouns, or other sensitive personal information receive priority review.
We correct misgendering, incorrect identification, and unnecessary disclosure of private information as quickly as possible.
Removal and Unpublishing
Trans United Fund does not remove accurate reporting merely because it is uncomfortable, disputed, or damaging to the reputation of a person or institution.
Removal or substantial redaction may be considered when:
the reporting is materially false
publication creates a serious and unnecessary safety risk
private information was published without sufficient editorial justification
legal or ethical obligations require removal
the public-interest value no longer outweighs the harm
Removal decisions are made case by case.
Correction Requests
To request a correction, contact:
Please include:
the article title or URL
the specific statement in question
the correction you are requesting
supporting records or evidence
your contact information, when appropriate
A request does not guarantee a correction. We review the available evidence and make an independent editorial decision.
Editorial Responsibility
Trans United Fund is responsible for the accuracy of everything it publishes.
AI-assisted tools may support drafting, editing, research organization, formatting, or workflow, but they do not replace human review, source verification, editorial judgment, or responsibility for corrections.
