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.
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.
Kids phones, what restrictions you make to make them safe?... No social media may make them safe but many trans kids use them to get support too Maybe you add a reminders that tell them "hey your phone isn't all your life" although I doubt that will help too much
Yeah the only way to stop violent transphobia like this to crack the fuck down on the stochastic terrorism perpetrated by right-wing talking heads. They should be imprisoned for life, no parole, no nothing.
Unfortunately, that kind of bill won't pass anywhere I can think of, and it'd be hard to enforce against anonymous terrorists.
Unfortunately what do they care? Look at the CEOs of social media. They like us better dead.
They are already fully prepared for our deaths with their bunkers.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The mother of Brianna Ghey has called for her murder to be a “tipping point” in how society views “the mess” of the internet, warning that a generation of anxious young people will grow up lacking resilience.
Ghey said she also thinks Brianna would be alive if her killers had not been able to access violent content on the dark web as well as on the regular internet as they plotted her murder on 11 February last year.
Talking to the Guardian, the 37-year-old food technologist said tech bosses were also culpable when it came to the wave of anxiety and mental health problems affecting children, which she said had led to “a complete lack of resilience in young people”.
She warned that more children would die without action from technology companies and that “more people will have mental health issues and, as a society, we will become less and less resilient and less empathic”.
Scarlett Jenkinson, who murdered Brianna with Eddie Ratcliffe, had downloaded an app to access the dark web when she was just 14, and told the jury she enjoyed watching real-life videos of torture and death.
Both defendants, who were just 15 when they plotted and carried out the murder in Culcheth Linear Park, Warrington, made multiple internet searches for killing methods.

Tech boss? You mean like ebaum from ebaumsworld? Or even seedier places?
