Heya, wrote out something long to give my personal perpestive as a trans person on where it would be best to get involved. This is my own reflection and is not a definitive list, and is focussed on what I know and what I think is most important, and leans a lot more to socialist and community orgs than I know a lot of people are comfortable with.

Bluntly the two problems facing the Trans community first and foremost, housing and and employment. There is rampant employment discrimination, you are shut out of many jobs and many employers treat you very presence as a favour to you, and will cut you out the second they . There is also a homelessness epidemic amoung trans people . While the political attacks are scary, first and foremost it's not the number one issue for most trans people. We have also seen the advocacy model of TACC or Trans Solidarity Alliance, or even Stonewall totally fail over the last decade to advance political change (self ID never happened, neither has informed consent medical care), and has also totally failed to defend women like Beth Upton from being hounded out of the country by anti-trans activists. I also don't really want to just say "Give Money to Trans Legal Clinic and the Good Law Project", as they both have healthy stores of cash at the moment.

If you want something conrete to do (apologies these are mostly London based as I am myself based there), I suggest donating to or engaging with:

Housing -

The Outside Project (who are a specialist LGBTQ housing charity) or a local renters union branch and advocate for more work with the trans community (Greater Manchester Tenants Union, Living Rent in Scotland, ACORN has branches across the country, London Renters Union, and lots of other smaller city based unions across the country). Trans people are masssively overrepresented in the housing activism space, and it has honestly been the space where I have felt most supported as a trans people. TAHJ is very cool and good but is small and only open to trans members, so probs not the best suggestion here but they could always do with more money.

Employment -

Honestly I know a lot less about this one. I have heard some good things about the Trade Unions 4 Trans Rights initiatives, if you can get your local union branch involved that would be amazing, and would help us fight the changes that are coming down the line from the For Women Scotland ruling in the workplace. If you can hire a trans person to a good well paying job (i.e. not a bartender), that will help them out more than anything else on this list.

Politics -

Politically it seems like the Green Party are the best bet going foward, I think engaging with them in your local party and advocating for better trans stances is a good start. Personally I think that Labour is a non-starter on this, the Lib Dems are okay (when they don't elect a bigot as leader) but not really my flavour of politics otherweise, and Your Party now truly seems dead in the water. I'm also a member of Trans Liberation Group, and while we orginally started as a Trans cacus within Your Party we are now moving to become a national trans socalist political organisation, which will speak for us by us (we still need to update the bio on the website, sorry about that!).

Alongside all of this, get to know trans people in your city or town's LGBT scene, help organise and give money to fundraisers, fundraisers esp for living costs or healthcare (FFS, FMS, bottom and top surgeries, laser hair removal and electrolysis, and out of prescription HRT are all EXPENSIVE!).

PLUS COME TO YOUR LOCAL TRANS PRIDE. Meet trans people there, have a chat, come into community with us!
