Resources
The Trevor Project is an organization that both provides resources for trans people, but also has a guide on how to be a good ally. If you don't know much about what it means to be trans, or want to be a better ally, their guide is very helpful. For trans people they also provide counseling and can connect you other trans people.
Their mission is "To uplift the narratives, lived experiences and leadership of trans and gender non-conforming people of color, our families and comrades as we build towards collective liberation for all oppressed people." Donate to their community funds to make an individual difference.
