If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

Good point, I originally made this as an image because someone requested that. Here's the text


Important Online Safety PSA for American transgender people following the US election.

Stop using insecure methods of communication.
Stop using media without a discrete privacy policy.
Stop posting identifying information about yourself.

As we enter into a new government with a hypothetical Republican trifecta, we will likely see the trans community attacked by the state, and sites and services such as Reddit, Facebook, Discord, and TikTok are known to have a great deal of unencrypted information about their users, and have been known to cooperate with law enforcement.

Instead of Discord, try Matrix. Here is a large trans chat on Matrix:

Instead of Reddit, try Lemmy. Here are some transgender groups on Lemmy:

hexbear.net/c/traa (shortlink, redirect link on page)
lemmy.ml/c/transgender
lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/transgender

Instead of Facebook or Instagram, try Pixelfed:

pixelfed.org

Instead of Twitter, try Mastodon. Here are some trans positive places on Mastodon:

lgbtqia.space
toots.matapocos.dog
