Resources for
every letter.
Vetted, current, no paywalls. Crisis support, gender-affirming healthcare, legal aid, and community — organized so you can find what you need fast. If something here is outdated or wrong, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Call or text Trans Lifeline at (877) 565-8860 — peer support by and for trans people. For LGBTQ+ youth under 25, The Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 is 24/7. You don’t have to be in crisis to call. They won’t send police without your consent.
Crisis support.
Trans Lifeline
A peer support hotline run by and for trans people — the only one of its kind. You don’t have to be in crisis to call, and they have an explicit no-nonconsensual-rescue policy: they will not call 911 or police without your explicit request.
The Trevor Project
24/7 crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ young people under 25. Phone, text, or online chat — all free, confidential, and staffed by trained counselors.
LGBT National Hotline
Peer support for all ages and identities — coming out, relationships, isolation, workplace issues, safer sex, and more. Separate hotlines for youth, seniors, and BIPOC callers.
SAGE LGBTQ+ Elder Hotline
Free, confidential support for LGBTQ+ older adults who are isolated, lonely, or in crisis. Because our elders carried us, and the fight to be seen doesn’t stop at 60.
Healthcare & affirming care.
Availability varies by state and is changing quickly. If a service isn’t available where you live, most of these orgs can refer you to someone who can help.
Folx Health
Nationwide virtual primary care built for LGBTQIA+ people: HRT, mental health, PrEP, sexual and reproductive care, surgery letters, and a care-navigation team. Over 1 in 3 clinicians are trans or nonbinary. Accepts many insurance plans.
Plume Clinic
Virtual gender-affirming care focused specifically on HRT (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, companion meds). Informed-consent model — no therapist letter required to start hormones. Letters for name/gender marker changes included with membership. Trans Lifeline members get a discount.
Planned Parenthood
Many (not all) Planned Parenthood health centers offer gender-affirming hormone therapy on an informed-consent basis, plus sexual and reproductive care, STI testing, and PrEP. Sliding-scale fees and insurance accepted. Check your local center’s services.
GLMA Provider Directory
A searchable directory of LGBTQ+-affirming healthcare providers across the country — primary care, mental health, specialists, dentists, and more. Run by GLMA (Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality).
Legal aid & advocacy.
For discrimination, name/gender marker changes, workplace issues, immigration, family law, and more. Most of these orgs provide free legal information; some take cases directly.
Lambda Legal
National civil rights org focused on LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV. Their Help Desk provides free legal information (not emergency help) on discrimination, healthcare access, identity documents, and family law.

Free legal services for trans people, including the Name Change Project — free legal name changes for low-income trans people through partnerships with major law firms. Also handles healthcare and workplace discrimination cases.
ACLU LGBTQ & HIV Project
Tracks anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in all 50 states, litigates major civil rights cases, and publishes Know Your Rights guides. Their legislation tracker is the best free resource for what’s happening in your state.
NCLR
National Center for Lesbian Rights
Despite the name, NCLR serves the full LGBTQ+ community. Free legal helpline covering family law, immigration, youth, sports, elder law, and asylum. Caseload is nationwide.
Community & chosen family.

GLAAD
Media advocacy org that produces the annual Accelerating Acceptance and Where We Are on TV reports, publishes a media reference guide, and maintains a Transgender Media Program for trans creators and stories.
Point Foundation
The largest scholarship-granting org for LGBTQ+ students in the US. Offers scholarships for community college, four-year, graduate, and professional degrees, plus mentorship and a community network.
The Okra Project

Every state gets one.
Local rights, local centers, local healthcare. We’re building state guides one at a time — starting with Nevada because that’s home. Want yours next? Tell us.
Nevada
Your rights in Nevada, local community centers in Las Vegas / Henderson / Reno, gender-affirming healthcare providers, legal aid, and a step-by-step name & gender marker playbook.

Missing something? Tell us.
This is v1. We’re expanding state-by-state, adding resources for specific needs (housing, immigration, survivors of violence, incarcerated folks, sex workers), and tracking organizations as they open, close, and change. If you know something we should add — or if a phone number here stopped working — we want to hear it.
You are not
alone.
You never
were.
