Original Air Date: June 4, 2023
This year, conservative lawmakers have introduced more than 500 bills targeting trans rights across 49 states, a sharp increase since 2015. These proposals include criminalizing doctors and healthcare providers, and could redefine child abuse to include those who support medical transition for anyone under 18. Detransitioners, or formerly trans-identifying people who have stopped medical treatment, have testified at hearings nationwide in support of legislation aiming to ban gender-affirming care. VICE News’ Alyza Enriquez meets detransitioners who support these bans, and others who don’t – including a former detransitioner who’s mapped out links between far-right groups and anti-trans advocates.

Since the show, “To Catch a Predator” went off the air, a corner of YouTube has taken up the mantle: posing as underage kids online, waiting for older men to send sexually explicit messages and then filming a confrontation with the men in public.

In this episode of My Life Online, we shine a light on the grey area this content inhabits - Are these vigilante YouTube creators helping expose predators or making it more difficult for law enforcement to do their jobs? Are they potentially saving lives or just risking their own?
