2025 Transgender Social Media Safety Report

This project is a visual research report I produced in late 2025 examining how major social media platforms address the safety of transgender users through policy and enforcement. The 2025 Transgender Social Media Safety Report analyzes 15 widely used platforms, comparing stated policy commitments with observable moderation practices.

The report identifies a persistent gap between policy presence and policy performance. While many platforms name gender identity or expression as protected categories, enforcement remains inconsistent, and anti-trans content continues to circulate widely. In several cases, platforms rolled back explicit protections in 2025, reframing trans-related harm under the language of debate, professionalism, or free expression.

Designed as a community-facing research artifact, the report combines policy analysis, platform comparison, and visual synthesis to make patterns of harm legible without exposing individuals to additional risk. It reflects my interest in institutional governance, sunken suasion, and the rhetorical work performed by infrastructures that operate beneath everyday interaction.

This project is intended to support public understanding, advocacy, and safer platform design.
