These kids are already on Instagram, and telling them “cut yourself off from your support network and join a smaller platform” is not gonna fly well even if it’s the best idea. Pointing them where to go as long as they’re there is a solid strategy.
I definitely would not feel comfortable taking that gamble. I don't want to be alarmist, but I truly don't think that risk is worth taking right now.
I’m someone who is having to make those calculations and chose to not be on instagram a long time ago, so I get it. But there are trans kids on there, and as long as there are then pointing them to reputable sources instead of leaving them to sort it out for themselves is still better than nothing.
surprised that there's nothing about self-defense courses, but this is teen vogue
This looks like an article they recycled from the first Trump administration when things were (very) bad, but still not as dire as this time around.
We all need some major slef defense training. As @Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone mentioned below. Like... the proud boys are taking paramilitary training with creeps in the woods. We need self defense.
