LGBTQIA2S+ Resources
This is by no means a comprehensive list of queer/trans resources, but a starting place to resource yourself or share with a loved one.
Updated frequently ~ if you have a suggestion for an organization or project drop me a line and I’ll look into adding it here.

“Trans Lifeline is a grassroots hotline and microgrants 501(c)(3) non-profit organization offering direct emotional and financial support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community.”
-
“We are a group of transgender, nonbinary, and allied mental health and medical providers based in the U.S. who have come together to:
a) State our position on the requirement that transgender and nonbinary people and/or people seeking gender-affirming medical interventions acquire a letter of support from a mental health provider;
b) Make public our commitment to making letters, when required by medical systems who adhere to the WPATH SOC, accessible and free.”

“Accessing best-practice gender-affirming care for transgender youth is more challenging than ever: 27 states have passed cruel laws banning or restricting care, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld these bans in the Skrmetti v. L.W. case, and the Trump Administration has pursued a relentless campaign attacking access. As a result, thousands of transgender youth and their families are being forced to identify new healthcare providers, travel extreme distances, and take on significant expenses just to get the care they need.
The Trans Youth Emergency Project (TYEP) is here to help families navigate this complex and exhausting maze, offering logistical and financial support. Our team provides 1-on-1 custom patient navigation services to unimpacted providers and supports families of transgender youth with travel grants.”

“Changing your legal name and gender marker can feel daunting. How long will the process take? How much will it cost? Do I need to find a notary (and if so, where)? Is the court system kind to trans people? Will I need to publish my name change in a newspaper?
It can all feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
We’re trans, and after going through this process ourselves, we built Namesake to make it easier for others. Namesake helps you fill out forms, track your progress, access financial resources, and receive community support. It’s free, open source, and always will be.
Rigid systems weren’t built for us, but we’ll figure them out together.”
-
“Our mission is to help trans youth and adults access necessary, life-saving health and wellness services.”
-
“The Mission of Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP) is to challenge and end the human rights abuses committed against Black, Black/Brown Trans people inside of California prisons, jails, detention centers and beyond.”
-
“A.B.O. Comix is a collective of creators and activists who work to amplify the voices of LGBTQ prisoners through art. By working closely with prison abolitionist and queer advocacy organizations, we aim to keep queer prisoners connected to outside community and help them in the fight toward liberation. The profits we generate go back to incarcerated artists, especially those with little to no resources. Using the DIY ideology of "punk-zine" culture, A.B.O. was formed with the philosophy of mutual support, community and friendship. “

“At The TransLatin@ Coalition (TLC), we believe every TGI Latin@ deserves safety, dignity, and opportunity. Through comprehensive support, fearless advocacy, and dynamic leadership programs, we’re building a future where our community not only survives—but thrives.”
-
“Gender Justice envisions a world where everyone can thrive regardless of their gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation. Step by step, we’re creating that world by dismantling legal, structural, and cultural barriers that contribute to gender inequity. We work to ensure that people of all genders have a meaningful right to bodily autonomy, safety, health, and opportunity.”

“Rights Behind Bars is a non-profit legal advocacy organization working alongside incarcerated people to challenge the cruel and inhumane conditions of confinement.”
