For this episode, Sarah is joined by her friend Steve, who is a cybersecurity expert and LGBTQ+ activist with over 30 years experience. We discuss the ways that the safety & security of queer & trans folks are being impacted by government, and how legislation like the EARN IT act can be used to silence and isolate us from access to community & education, and how it's weaponized against sex workers and other marginalized folks.
