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
