Grounded in science

You've heard a lot about us. Almost none of it was science.

Nearly every American has been inundated with clickbait and "news" about transgender people, and nearly none of it is grounded in science — let alone written by transgender people.

We're trans. We read these studies because our lives run on them — and we built the site we wished existed: short answers first, a source on every claim, nothing you have to take on faith.

Why this site exists

You might tune it out as culture-war nonsense, suspiciously similar to other hate campaigns. But repetition works on all of us — framings sink in long before anyone decides to believe them, especially when even sympathetic outlets pick up the same language.

Consider how much time you've spent reading, hearing, and watching cisgender people opine on "the transgender question." Match a little of that time here — and leave a bit better, and smarter, than we found you.

Even the sympathetic stories leave things out

Not because reporters are villains — framings are sticky and column inches are short. The 2-minute quiz shows what usually gets cut. No score, no judgment.
