As one of the largest transgender support groups on Facebook, we are often folks' first safe harbor online. We encounter a lot of people without any background on trans folks, our community, and how to be good allies. As such, we've gathered this (growing) list of resources to get folks up to speed. We also recommend folks check out the Transgender Language Primer that we've put together, and our other Resources.
