We’re Building the Green Pages.

Han and I are putting together a Green Pages–style directory for trans people across major U.S. cities.

The goal is simple: as more trans people are forced to move, flee, relocate, or start over, we need more than vague advice and “move to a blue city” hand-waving. We need real information. Which cities are actually survivable. Which towns have enough population, infrastructure, and community to make a new life possible. Which businesses are safe. Which clinics, bookstores, bars, cafés, mutual aid groups, salons, shelters, community spaces, and local networks are worth knowing about before someone arrives with two bags and a nervous system held together by spite.

We are currently gathering resources for major U.S. cities and surrounding towns.

If you have solid information about your city, your region, or a place you have lived, send it our way. We will be organizing, checking, and cataloging it as carefully as possible.

One of my friends has been apprehended by ICE. I know I don't need to remind people how terrifying it's been living under this government, this fascism, which is doing its best to make excuses for its inhumane and cruel treatment of people. I know it's hard right now for a lot of people and many of us are living on very little expendable income, and so many of these posts are going around. I'm sending this out with as much love and hope as possible. If it's possible for you to help, it would do a lot. Right now it's going to keep communication lines open between Rey and his family (the app he's given to talk with from the detention center costs daily) and lawyer fees.
