Collaborating to Meet the Needs of the Transgender Community in South Texas
The Mosaic Project of South Texas, in partnership with the Coastal Bend Trans Alliance, is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Transgender Resource Initiative. This program was created to support the needs of the transgender community, particularly in light of the federal government’s blatant failure to protect and support transgender citizens. These efforts by the administration to erase transgender existence from public spaces make this initiative more critical than ever.
What the Program Offers
The Transgender Resource Initiative is designed to provide essential resources that support the health, safety, and well-being of transgender individuals. Through this program, we will offer:
- Binders
- Packers
- Breast Forms
- Starter Makeup Kits
These resources will be made available to the community to reduce financial barriers and provide the tools necessary for self-expression and identity affirmation. We understand the importance of how these resources contribute to one’s quality of life.
Stay Connected
We will be launching this program in the coming weeks and encourage everyone to stay informed by:
- Watching this space for updates.
- Following us on social media.
- Subscribing to our newsletter for the latest information and announcements.
Join Us in Supporting the Transgender Community
This initiative is a vital step in standing against oppression and ensuring that transgender individuals have access to the resources they need. We believe in creating a world where everyone can live authentically and safely. Together, we can make this vision a reality.
Additional Resources for HRT
For transgender individuals seeking Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), we recommend exploring the following resources:
- Plume: An online service providing HRT care specifically for the transgender community. Visit getplume.co.
- Folx Health: A telehealth provider offering HRT services and support. Visit folxhealth.com.
- Trans Lifeline Microgrants: Provides financial assistance for legal name changes and updating gender markers. Visit translifeline.org.
- Out Youth (Texas-specific): Offers free or low-cost HRT consultations for youth in Texas. Visit outyouth.org.
These third-party resources are available to help remove barriers to accessing gender-affirming care, particularly in Texas where legislative challenges make such care increasingly difficult to obtain.
