ADL’s yearly report on the state of online hate and harassment in the United States. The statistics featured demonstrate how serious this issue is: “And what’s worse: Only 17% of those people said that the social media platform they were harassed on was willing to block the perpetrator.

Tracking Anti-Transgender Rhetoric Online, Offline and In Our Legislative Chambers
Our online and offline lives have fluid boundaries. What happens online doesn’t stay there.


Today, those spouting hateful anti-transgender rhetoric online are creating an ecosystem where shared ideas, themes and language echoes. This hateful rhetoric goes from fringe to mainstream— and boomerangs between online and offline speech — in part because of social media’s immense power, amplification of “engaging” content and sophisticated recommendation algorithms. The impact of anti-transgender online speech is becoming concrete as lawmakers introduce and enact legislation targeting transgender people, especially youth, using language mirroring that which we see online. This brief is a collaboration of ADL’s Policy division and Center on Extremism to
follow the tracks of anti-transgender rhetoric online, offline and into our lawmaking process.
