10 of the Best Trans Resources in L.A. County

With the recent news that the Trump administration plans to define us out of existence, compiled with the revelation of the Pittsburgh shooter’s homophobic, transphobic views, it’s been a tough week for trans folks.

Not to mention the looming election coming up this week. If you’re feeling stressed, depressed, hopeless, or any mix of these emotions, it’s understandable that you might need someone to talk to, or even just a bit of extra support to get you through the week. Luckily, L.A. is one of the best places to be if you’re trans and looking for a lifeline, a resource, or a friendly ear.
