That was wild

... there's such a [laughs] it's, like, ridiculous the collusion between social media and, like, specifically far-right politicians and billionaires.

So I think that there's something there where they are trying to push their own agenda of, like, anti-transness, and so therefore it is prioritizing the anti-trans content on our feeds and deprioritizing things that, like, refute their pseudoscientific, hateful beliefs, right, and opinions ultimately are what they are.

The way that that's trickled down to us trans people is, like, genuinely stressing us out, and we know that, like, emotional, mental stress takes a toll on your physical health, and there have been multiple statistics that have come out that says, like, you know, trans people are just less well than our cis counterparts physically and mentally because of the stress of transphobia, not just IRL, but also, like, the stress of transphobia that we consume online.

So it's a really negative...

It manifests very negatively, all of these things for trans people.

And what I hope to do with Trans News That Doesn't Suck is be at least one thing where, like, every time you hear from me in a newsletter, you know it's good news.

Mm-hmm.

"Jermaine can do it.

He's the most ripped teenager ever.

KD, he's a band favorite.

Tyrone dance better than everybody." Nobody was betting on me.

Nobody saw it for the queer reject, so I gained a chip on my shoulder.
