Texas Trans Folks <3
Trans friends have always been put through it. But it seems like the last 10 years, there’s been an even bigger target on trans people’s backs as the Texas and US government continues to scapegoat them. This may feel like a lonely and terrifying time for many of you. I want to offer this bank of awesome things Texas trans folks are contributing to: safe spaces, resources, and more! Feel free to use the comments if there’s something you know about that I didn’t include. You are seen and loved!
