Black Trans fund to receive medications, aid needs
Donation protected
This GoFundMe is being made to begin the process of crowdfunding now in order to start actively helping BIPOC Trans people by Fall 2023.
Over the Summer of 2022, I began early programming for creating a Hormone Cabinet Clinic, a space where young black and brown Trans people can receive Hormone Replacement Therapy. The cabinet will operate weekly to provide BIPOC trans individuals access HRT care until they are able to find the appropriate insurance/coverage for their needs. Bi-weekly mutual aid funds for BIPOC queer people. Hold a clothing cabinet to give to queer underprivileged people in need. The current goal is placeholder as our needs might change as donations and support comes.
As I am beginning my transition back to the States, I am doing a lot of organizing to have this cabinet be accessible, in a larger capitacy. Black Trans people are being murdered and not given accessibility for their needs. This work is important to the Queer and Black communities as whole, and funding is a very important aspect to ensure the beginning of operations and to continue to be stabilized over time.
Currently, rights are being taken about from the trans community in the United States. In Arkansas, Alaska, Texas, Tennesnse, North Dakota, West Virginia, South Carolina, bills have been passed that interrupt the safety of Trans individuals. Already, trans people are dehumanized in all parts of the world and are constantly fighting for equally and respect.
I have been spending time in Berlin, Germany learning effective ways to support the queer community while being an active member. Specifically, working in the trans community, I have come to learn that the best community work is done by other members of the community. For example, in Berlin, there is a collective titled For The Dolls, run by all Trans Fem people. This collective host weekly sessions every Sunday, there is usually a session for everyone to come together and discuss a issue/topic that is related to transness then after there is HRT cabinet clinic ran by seasoned Trans Fems who have experience and knowledge of HRT where trans people can get access to their needed HRT and feel comfortable while being assisted.
