MT Greene is herself another option, being both disgustingly anti-trans and completely unwilling to defend children and women. I donât know her stance on pedophilesâŚthink it would be going out on a limb to guess âdenounces but looks the other way in practiceâ?

âThese search suggestions are a manifestation of the pervasive transphobia in our current cultural, social, and political climates,â says scholar and licensed therapist Alex Iantaffi, a leading researcher in trans health and a clinical member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. âAs such, they do contribute to the struggle that many trans and/or nonbinary people face when exploring their gender, or sharing their identity and/or expression with the world.â
Iantaffi contextualizes this predictive search behavior within a larger system of gender policing on the internet that often disregards and delegitimizes trans peoplesâ humanity. They say encountering transphobia repeatedly during a day-to-day task like Googling can contribute to higher levels of depression, anxiety, substance use, and suicidality.
âThese higher levels of negative mental health outcomes are common across many minoritized communities, not because of peopleâs marginalized status,â explains Iantaffi, âbut because of the systemic oppression faced even when engaging in the simplest of tasks such as searching for information, walking down the street, or going to the bathroom.â
When the worldâs most powerful search engine nudges users to search a famous trans celebrityâs âreal nameâ or to ask if a certain public figure âis male,â it implies that these are valid questions to ask about any trans person, Iantaffi and other experts tell me. It perpetuates the discriminatory and hostile environment that trans people experience when they log online.
And despite its power and profits, Google hasnât taken any effective action to prevent such transphobia from showing up in its predictive search suggestions. Instead, the company relies on a deficient automated filtering system in conjunction with after-the-fact reporting, like this very article, followed by manual fixes.

Lynn Conway worked on that years ago and they revised the algorithm to show trans orgs, resources etc.
I guess theyâve backslided.
