Important Links

Information regarding what it means to be transgender

Statistics regarding the transgender community

GLAAD page about their efforts to present positive representation of transgender people in the media

“The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people ages 13–24.”

Resource for drug abuse within the LGBTQ+ community

An outreach program for youth who are in need of immediate help and safety

“NCTE is a team of hard-working staff members supported by a nationwide community of transgender people, allies, and advocates with an extensive record of winning life-saving change for transgender people”

This Wikipedia page acknowledges the murders of numerous transgender people around the world who faced violence due to being themselves. I especially wanted to include this page (despite it not technically being a “reliable source”) to really show the dangers that discrimination of people in the transgender community can lead to. In making this blog for this project, I hope to honor those who lost their lives for being their genuine selves and dedicate this blog to them. I see you, I acknowledge you, you are valid, you are valued, you are loved.
Rest in Power
