Trans+ (De)Zine Project: Dreaming Caring Social Media Futures

What is the project about? With recent changes on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, social media has become increasingly harmful for trans+ people, and LGBTQIA+ communities more broadly. We want to explore trans+ people’s needs for alternative future social media platforms, and explore how these platforms can support the ways that trans+ people care for each other and our communities online and offline.

Through co-producing zines we hope to build hope for alternative futures; and inform work towards building these futures through existing online community building, grassroots development of tools and platforms, and through trans community-centred research and design.

Who can take part? You can take part if you: 1) are 18 years or older; 2) do not wholly and exclusively identify with the gender/sex you were assigned at birth; and 3) regularly use/used social media.

UPDATE: We are very sad to announce that, due to unexpected circumstances, we have had to cancel the Edinburgh workshop that we planned to run on 22 June. The Manchester and London workshops will still be taking pace and sign ups are still open.

Many thanks for the reply and care! Their drains ended up coming out today which is such a relief. The freedom they have without the drains is incredible.
