????? Queer and Trans Lives belong here. Nearly?2 million American adults?identify as transgender, according to a 2023 survey by KFF and the?The Washington Post, just under 1 percent of adults as a whole. That's 2M American's identities that are being directly erased by the multiple executive orders Trump has signed. This is an assault on the people he is elected to govern. ?? With social media spaces like Meta changing their content policies to allow hate speech to our community, creating safe space like Lex is even more important. Lex is the social app for the LGBTQ+ community, where queer people can express themselves, have fun and belong. ??

Lex's CEO Jennifer Rhiannon Lewis spoke with Sydney Bradley at Business Insider about the impact of Meta's policy changes on the LGBTQ+ community and what we're doing at Lex . Why do these new policy changes matter? Because according to GLAAD, a nonprofit advocacy organization for LGBTQ+ representation in media "rhetoric and disinformation on social media translates to real-world offline harms." So that "More Speech and Fewer Mistakes" actually means "more offline danger" for our LGBTQ+ community. WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON THE META CHANGES?
