The project intends to look into the way transgender and nonbinary people use social media throughout their social and medical transitions. This will include what platforms they use, how they use these platforms, what causes them to use a particular platform more or less, and so on. It will look at both benefits- such as identity exploration or gender affirmation - and drawbacks- such as hate speech or invalidating platform design - of social media for transgender and nonbinary people, in order to create the fullest picture possible. This information will then be utilized to create a set of guidelines for social media platform developers on how to make their platforms as safe for transgender and nonbinary people as possible, using a co-creation process with members of the trans community.The project intends to focus on both the behavior of individual social media users, as well as the ways that platforms are created in ways that benefit or disadvantage trans people. This will allow for a clearer idea of the actual effect that social media has on trans people, as it will take into account all of the factors that they encounter and how they each influence them.

该项目旨在调查跨性别者和非双性恋者在他们的社会和医疗转型过程中使用社交媒体的方式。这将包括他们使用什么平台，他们如何使用这些平台，是什么原因导致他们或多或少地使用特定的平台，等等。它将着眼于社交媒体对跨性别者和非双性别者的好处--如身份探索或性别肯定--以及缺点--如仇恨言论或无效的平台设计--以尽可能创造出最全面的图景。然后，这些信息将被用来为社交媒体平台开发者创建一套指导方针，指导他们如何通过与跨性别者社区成员共同创建过程，使他们的平台对跨性别者和非二元者尽可能安全。该项目旨在关注个人社交媒体用户的行为，以及创建平台的方式对跨性别者有利或不利。这将让我们更清楚地了解社交媒体对跨性别者的实际影响，因为它将考虑到他们遇到的所有因素，以及他们各自是如何影响他们的。
