RESOURCES
Hey Folks!
​
The following are some resources I've gathered.
I will be adding more shortly. Many of these are about trans rights, given that trans people are at higher risk for violence, discrimination, etc.
​
Each of the underlined names in the following lists are CLICKABLE LINKS the the websites of these organizations.
​
I suggest checking them out!
​
In my opinion, if you are a trans person or the loved one of a trans person looking to get informed on trans rights, I would start here: National Centre For Gender Equality: Know Your Rights
​
This website covers airport security, public accommodations, social security, healthcare, housing, and so much more.
