Samantha – Trans Lifeline

A Letter To Our Community From Our New Interim Executive Director, Taegen Meyer

Dear Trans Lifeline Community, It is an honor to serve you as Interim Executive Director through this transition period of growth and change. I deeply cherish this opportunity to shape the change that is happening within Trans Lifeline as an organization and within trans communities more broadly. With my background as an LA based organizer and artist, I am looking to bring creative visioning to how we can structure ourselves internally to continue to provide the support our community needs most. The change that I am shaping us towards as an organization is helping build more equitable trans futures. It is central that the needs and leadership of trans people most marginalized by our society are centered.

Binding Guide

Chest binding is a gender-affirming practice done by all kinds of different people. Some people bind to reduce gender dysphoria. Some bind to present in a way that feels more aligned with their gender identity. Some folks bind because they just like the way it looks. There are many reasons people bind and it doesn’t always have to do with gender.

Taking Control of Your Digital Identity

If you’ve ever googled your name, maybe feelings of surprise and anxiety sprang up after seeing the first page of results. There’s a chance that information that you didn’t share or maybe even forgot came up. For example, many of us can’t remember all of the places we have lived but it seems the internet can. If you’re trans, this could be true for more than one of your names.

How to Spot and Remove Apps Installed to Spy on You

Stalkerware, a type of spyware, that enables remote access by a person to monitor the contents of another device, such as a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop. This access goes way beyond apps that are developed to find your phone if it is lost or stolen. And despite some being marketed as parental control apps, they are not just set up to limit what kind of websites or apps a child can visit. They are used to surveil and control people. For trans folks of any age, these tools can further isolate us.
