hey! I know reblogging posts about how much you support trans and nonbinary people is fun, especially in a time when we need solidarity more than ever, but idk maybe you should consider:

donating to the transgender law center to help trans people get human rights and legislative protection

signal boosting the TLDEF (aka the transgender legal defense and education fund), a service that fights for trans people’s right to change their names and hold people legally accountable for discrimination 

let’s not forget the ACLU (American civil liberties union) which focuses on issues similar to the TLDEF and also provides a confidential form for trans clients

and while you’re at it, why don’t you sign the transgender freedom project’s pledge for solidarity? seeing as they have a tumblr, there’s really no reason you should have any trouble getting involved.

these are all great ways to show your solidarity! but hey, that’s just some food for thought.

We received an ask regarding resources for trans people in light of the anti-trans rulings and bills in America recently, so I thought I should reblog this here. Here are a few more (US-centric) resources as well:

Military
Palm Center (sponsors research about trans folk in the military)
Transgender American Veteran’s Association

Advocacy and Legal Services
National Center for Transgender Equality
Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE)
Black Trans Advocacy
Trans Women of Color Collective
Honor41 (advocacy for Latin@ LGBT community)
Casa Ruby (advocacy for Spanish-speakers; legal services)
GLSEN’s Transgender Student Rights (K-12)

Employment and Networking
List of Businesses with Transgender-Inclusive Health Insurance Benefits
Employers with Transgender Friendly Policies
CenterLink (development and awareness of LGBT community centers)
The Jim Collins Foundation (grants for surgeries)
Trans Friendly Job Bank

I hope these help someone! There are many more resources out there, too, and many, many people who want to support and help trans people succeed!

If you are an ally in America, please do what you can to fight against the trans military ban as well as H.R.2796 aka The Civil Rights Uniformity Act of 2017.
