I am sick of dead trans kids. One is too many. We need better data. But we also need to urgently build a world in which all trans people can live and thrive – instead of having to try and constantly endure indignity and fear.

I have had death threats for my work on trans rights. I have been stalked. I have had people try and have me thrown out of my University. I am by no means alone, and lots of trans-inclusive academics have spoken publicly about the violence and harassment they face. But no mention of that here.

Our work is impacting policy! 🎉 Ofcom recently cited a consultation I contributed to (as part of UCL's Gender and Tech Group). Particularly, I argue that trusted flaggers should be rooted in the communities being moderated and should be audited to prevent coercive behaviour. 🧵 (1/3)
