Grounded in science

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

Have you heard this one? “Trans women are just biological males.” See what the evidence actually says

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.

If most of what you've heard about trans people came from people who aren't trans, that isn't on you; it's how the coverage works. This is the other half of the conversation, with receipts. Stay five minutes, check anything you doubt.

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.
