Methodology

People Methodology & Policy

People profiles are published to improve safety context and discovery. The policy below defines what qualifies, what evidence is required, and how moderation decisions are made.

Inclusion Criteria

  • The person has meaningful relevance to trans community safety context.
  • Entries should include enough identifying context to avoid mistaken identity.
  • Profiles should not be used for harassment, doxxing, or private-person targeting.
  • Duplicate or near-duplicate profiles are reviewed for merge/reject decisions.

Evidence Standards

  • Prefer first-party statements, direct records, and reputable independent reporting.
  • Claims should include source links where possible.
  • High-risk or harmful claims require stronger corroboration before approval.
  • Low-confidence submissions may be rejected or re-queued for clarification.

Update & Moderation Principles

  • All submissions and edits are reviewed before publication.
  • Moderation outcomes include reviewer notes and decision rationale.
  • New evidence can prompt future profile updates and stance revisions.
  • Appeals and corrections are handled through the moderation review process.
