Despite the examination of digital rights and privacy for marginalized communities with the human rights field and funding, trans* stories and needs are often marginalized and ignored. This article explores the lived realities of US-based trans* communities online. Two example cases are used to demonstrate how the current rhetoric around digital security and privacy do not take into account trans* perspectives. The article ends with some recommendations to improve the field of digital security and conversations on the intersection of trans* communities and digital rights.
