Help transgender folk access gender affirming gear

Gender Affirming Gear Helps Save Lives
Trans youth are almost 8 times* more likely to attempt suicide than their peers.
It is a sad but true reality that transgender youth experience depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation at a higher rate than their cisgender peers.
Fortunately, small actions and protective factors can have big impacts for transgender youth.
Social interventions, such as gender affirming gear and correct pronoun use, can help to lower rates of depression and anxiety and the risk of suicidal ideation and attempts.**
