A resource for understanding trans lives in America
The facts are clear.
We need you to
see transparent.
Millions of Americans are trans or love someone who is. This site brings honest, sourced information about what trans people face every day — because most people aren't cruel. They just haven't seen clearly yet.
States have enacted laws banning or restricting gender-affirming care for minors — often with criminal penalties for providers.

Why this site exists
This was made with love, for love.
The facts on this site are heavy because the reality is heavy. But trans people are not defined by what is done to them. They are defined by who they are — and who they are is joyful, creative, resilient, funny, tender, and deeply, fiercely alive.
This site exists because someone loves a trans person. Because loving someone means wanting the world to see them clearly. Because visibility is protection, and truth is an act of care.

Everything here is sourced. Everything here is true. And all of it is shareable — because the more people who see clearly, the better.
