How does one find a trans girl/enby in need?

6 hours ago by Sophienomenal to c/mtf

Hi y'all, I've been recently looking to help support a trans girl or enby in the US who is unable to get proper gender affirming care. For instance, perhaps someone in a deep red state where it may be dangerous to seek out gender affirming care. I'd be able to help someone get access to HRT if they're unable to themselves, so I am specifically looking to find someone without access to feminizing HRT. I've asked around in a lot of places, followed up with every friend and friend of a friend, and haven't gotten anywhere. Does anyone know if it would be possible to find someone through mutual aid, and how I could go about doing that? I'm just at kind of a dead end right now, so I wanted to see if anyone here knows how I may find more luck.

(I'm open to DMs if u know/are someone that needs help with access to HRT specifically)

This open request needs to be considered suspicious. Do not self-incriminate.

That's a fair assessment, and I've spent a lot of time going back and forth over whether this is appropriate to post, though I really have ran out of other options. It would not be hard to dig through my post history to find out why I'm asking for something so specific, but I don't expect anyone to do that, of course. Besides, none of what I've said or done throughout my post and comment history can entirely prove my intent; that's a matter of trust. I'm being intentionally vague in this post for good reason, as this is a public space. But there is plenty of reason not to trust some random post from a stranger on the Internet, of whom you cannot prove intention.

Don’t be dishearten by victims being distrusting.

Your question could’ve been phrased better, like how do I help the trans community in general.

This is a great resource! Unfortunately, I don't have money to give to these causes right now, as I'm struggling myself. I'm moreso looking to connect directly with a person of whom I could help with getting access to HRT.

It seems a lot of the hopes are getting out of places like this. If it's dangerous to be youself the closet claims many.

Yes, of course! Unfortunately, that isn't always an option for people 😔

I've seen a lot of mutual aid requests on the Mastodon instance I'm on (kolektiva.social), including many trans women, it would be good to help support some gals there if you're able

there are many enbies who would like feminizing HRT too, not just trans girls :)

You're absolutely right, I've updated the post. Since I posted this to !mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone, I'd phrased it for trans women, but gender obvs doesn't matter, so long as someone is looking for feminizing HRT

mm thats understandable. the display name of the community is "Transfem" so we tend to follow with that broader term, but not all clients see those unfortunately. having the current community identifier (i.e. "mtf") be matched would be very cool though!!!

You can support them through organisations like Rainbow Railway.
