The article discusses a series of cybersecurity workshops called "Cache Me Outside" organized by Imani Thompson for transgender and intersex individuals in Brooklyn. These workshops aim to teach participants how to protect their personal data and online presence from doxing and harassment, particularly given the heightened risks posed by recent anti-trans legislation.

- Social media platforms such as Elon Musk's X allow harassment and hate speech, making the internet an even more dangerous space for trans individuals.
-
