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.
