A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

This community is supportive of DIY HRT. Unsolicited medical advice or caution being given to people on DIY will result in moderator action.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

To make such a request, at the start of the body of your post, not in the title, the first line should look like the this: [Requesting Engagement from _________]

While I do agree that the internet can and will make any issue a hundred times worse that it would be without it, I very much feel like her argument is just a rehash of the "video games make kids violent"-claim.

I noticed she singles out everything except parents.

I guess she assumes that parents are always willing and able to do the best for their kids and can't be at fault if something bad happens to them.

Ghey is campaigning for the introduction of “children’s phones” with no social media apps, which are linked to their parents’ devices.

This would probably kill more trans kids than the current system ever could.

Can’t you already just get your kid a old fashioned flip phone
