    Hello world! I'm a regular Twitter user, but I don't post about my trans kid using my actual name in order to protect his privacy. So this is my alt-account specifically for sharing our story as a family working out how best to support a trans kid.

    Just your regular reminder why end-to-end encryption is important if you value your privacy and security. There's no way this won't get abused. If you're not sure where to start, then start here:
