Trans Voices
Online

Dear Gender Justice Journalists, Activists and Friends, 

Over the past few months, we’ve been conducting a multilingual survey to better understand what it means to be trans and visible online across Europe and Central Asia. The stories shared so far are powerful: full of creativity, courage, and connection. But they are also marked by violence, burnout, and grief. Trans people are not only shaping digital culture, they’re holding it open for others. And yet, too often, the cost of that visibility is being paid in silence, threats, or disappearance. As part of this ongoing research, we’re hosting a live event in collaboration with Trans Europe and Central Asia (TGEU) to bring these experiences into conversation:

🗓️ Thursday, June 26 

🕕 17:00–18:00 CET 

📍 Online | Free registration 

🔗 Register here

We’ll be joined by trans creators, researchers, and advocates to reflect on what we’ve learned, and what we’re still listening for. We’ll talk about the layered realities of being trans online: the joy, the resistance, the risk, and the deep need for protection and recognition.

This conversation is part of a broader effort to generate evidence that can be used to demand more from institutions, platforms, and policymakers. Trans voices deserve more than symbolic inclusion. They deserve safety, autonomy, and the right to thrive.

📣 Speakers include

India Willoughby (she/her),
Journalist

Gabriel Jakub Kawa (he/they),
Content Creator

Taylor Winters (he/him),
Content Creator

Béla Hackenberg (she/her), Communications Coordinator, TGEU

Inge Snip (she/her),
Associate Consultant, IJSC

If you’re openly trans and post regularly online, no matter the topic, your experience matters. Our survey remains open and available in English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. Every response helps us build the case for real change.

We hope you’ll join us on the 26th! 🤗
