Our ways of interacting each other and meeting new people have grown increasingly online. Queer and trans folks have been connecting online since the early internet, and have been on top of the latest apps intended for dating and intimate encounters. These days, it can be difficult to connect with anyone at all.

On top of this, there are many dangers faced by 2SLGBTQIA+ folks when looking to connect online. Some prospective partners may not be who they seem, or may be dangerous to certain folks.
