If there is a way to include discord I think this is an important location to include. It’s the current hotspot of discussion I believe along with some aspects of IG as well. But discord has tons of groups and teens flocked there during Covid lockdowns and there are entire groups dedicated to trans there now. (Format may be harder to work with though - not sure it’s possible to crawl discord with an ai unless they’re in the groups)

I was thinking the same. I suspect that this is where my son is being influenced. He's 19 and I have no real insight. Reddit is another hotspot for natal males.

Not just boys (natal males) -- my daughter seems to see a lot of Reddit as well.

They have some large FtM groups on Reddit. I think of Tumblr, YouTube, and TikTok as the main places that girls hang out and imagine themselves as cute boys - but for sure Reddit is active too.

Mine too. He's thankfully a minor still and we cut off access to social media to buy some time to let him mature without the influence of social media.
