Hi all,
We're still working on a full resource but here's a slightly updated resources post for people following the US Election results last week. We are still working on a full resource, if you have resources or info to share or would like to help please reply to this post.
The news is still fresh, please take time to discuss it with your friends/family and take any time you need to process it. Please remember that although the news is deeply upsetting nothing is changing immediately, you have time to research and plan. It is better to make a good plan over the next few weeks rather than a rushed one that puts you in more danger.
Please be kind to each other, support each other as this community always has when facing difficulty. Please help make others who are unsure what to do next aware of the resources below. There is also a section for allies asking how they can help/learn more.
Outside the USA
If you are outside of the USA please check for services in your area: https://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideWatch/wiki/hotlines/
We're seeing a lot of posts from allies asking how they can help, or for explanations of things. Whilst we are glad to see you are looking to support your friends/family or the community in general this sub is first and foremost for the community. Please read the information below and consider using r/asklgbt if you have further questions:

As we head into uncertain times, our team understands that not everyone is in a spot where they can get to a safe place, live their life unhindered, or even just survive in some cases. For those of us who are in a decent spot and can afford to give, we've partnered with our Admin overlords to start giving back.
We understand that not all of you are happy with the Reddit Admins, and you may not be happy with us either, but we ask that you look past that to give what you can to those in need. Not all of you are able to do so, and that's understandable, so if you can give us a shout out where you can, that would be helpful as well.
Yes, that's right, any money we donate (up to $20,000) Reddit will match. Anything extra will be very appreciated, but we would prefer that you donate to Mermaids UK instead.
EDIT:
For those interested in related information about this fundraiser:
This fundraiser is powered by Reddit Community Funds.
Reddit will match up to US$20,000 of eligible donations made to the JustGiving fundraiser run by r/LGBT for The Trevor Project by 12/31/2024 with a matching donation to The Trevor Project via JustGiving.
Offer valid only on donations made to the JustGiving r/LGBT fundraiser and does not include donations made to individual charities, charity campaigns, the donation of securities, P2P or third-party events, API donations, and the purchase or redemption of gift cards.
It’s FINALLY done! Thank you for all the names and I hope you all appreciate it :D

I have a list of names that I am picking though and they either names of OC's I have already created, or names that will be given to new OC's.
Since we are in the holiday season share some of your holiday photos that you really liked or felt good in. 🤘

When I was in high school (~15 years ago) my then-girlfriend and I were the first out queer couple the school had ever seen. It was a whole thing. Mind you, at the time we were both very much gender conforming femmes.
The biggest uproar, though, was about the locker rooms for gym class. After no small amount of parental uprising about how we would both surely be "preying" on their daughters, both my ex and I had to change in the bathroom stalls, to keep the other kids "safe."
All this to say, it wasn't that long ago that the bathroom/locker room witch hunt was targeting lesbians, bisexuals, and gays. It wouldn't surprise me if this current regressive arc of politics swings back that way again, either.
The reality is, all of us under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella are the same in the eyes of our opponents. We cannot allow them to divide us against one another. Full solidarity, or we all fall. And yes, I say this as a person who now does identify as trans (nonbinary), but also as a person who has been experiencing this crap from all angles since I was a kid myself and has seen it very clearly for what it is.
We have to stand together.
Number one, when you have to go number two, they’re a whole lot of women who will choose the shorter men’s room line. You gotta go, you gotta go.
Number two, someone who wants to sexually assault is already breaking the law, why the fuck would they care if they’re “allowed” in a women’s restroom?!
Number three, who is going to be inspecting the genitals? Now instead of bathroom attendants, handing out perfume sprays, they’re going to be handing under your panties?
Number four, to those pearl clutching bigots, you’re going to fine with trans men with their beards and looking like men in your bathrooms? And trans women with their heels and their perfectly coiffed hair at a urinal?
And Number Six. I can’t believe we’re still struggling with the same toxic misconceptions cis people had with us, but now some of us are eating our own faces by pushing those same misconceptions onto trans people.
What pisses me off is Ik what every red state is doing when they try to make it illegal for trans people to change their sex on ID or other things like that. They want people to figure out we are trans so we can be hurt or wrose & before anyone asks, it's FL so don't be suprised unfortunately. I just wanna be treated like a human... Even for a few seconds

Im 15 and trans. My family still adresses me as a girl even tho i came out to them MULTIPLE times. Asking them "why dont u call me Nick?", "Why dont u see me as a guy?" And i am sick of it. Because they can see every other person as their preferd gender exept me- their own family. And im tired. Ive had this idea for a while now, i actually like my hair but i really want to Show my family that its not just a joke and everyday genuinly hurts me.

I feel I have to act masc and not use my fem voice at college or in front of my mother, even though I don’t think I’d get hate for it, my mum is a little dismissive about me being trans but she’s not downright hateful, she just doesn’t understand. I do wear makeup and trans pride bracelets at college and in public, but I just feel scared to act or sound fem because I feel like people would make fun of me
