Marsha P Johnson: A Chrome extension to highlight trans erasure

Apparently this is the background context: https://www.npr.org/2025/02/14/g-s1-48923/stonewall-monument...

Directly? Nothing. Indirectly, it is raising awareness of what the current administration is either doing or enabling. It is also raising awareness of the Stonewall riots.

> Nobody is erasing you

Except they are. The US Federal Government is actively erasing this group of people from all official web presence. It's literally why this Chrome extension exists at all.

I know that on HN it is discouraged to say things like “did you even read the page?” But I feel it’s apt — not only will you see it’s an unsigned extension (so not on the Chrome Web Store, meaning the extension itself isn’t the channel for activism; the GitHub page’s README.md does that all on its own) but they provide examples of the trans erasure, particularly heinously by the US federal government.

The erasure you claim isn’t happening is right there, plain as day.

When you are not personally affected by something, clearly having no stakes in the matter, I borrow another example of what we generally avoid on HN but feels so apt: sit down.
