“Today’s episode explores a personal essay reflecting on the author’s experience as a trans, autistic person navigating online spaces and the impact of algorithms and societal biases on their identity. The author, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, critiques a meme that simplifies the trans experience as a linear journey, contrasting it with their own understanding of trans identity as both origin and destination. This leads to a discussion about the harmful effects of cisnormative perspectives and algorithms that prioritise engagement over well-being. Finally, the essay considers the challenges of finding online communities that are supportive and inclusive for marginalized groups.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/from-grey-to-light-trans-as-originLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
