Fyi everyone that Trans Law Help thing that’s been going around is actually a scam. It’s bring run by the same scammers who cheated loads of young lgbtq tumblr users out of thousands of dollars with a bogus video game called The Arkh Project a few years back.

Please spread the word, and consider instead sending money to Trans Lifeline, The Sylvia Rivera Law Project, or The Mazzoni Center.

NOTE: there are legit people using the #translawhelp hashtag, but do NOT give them any money until they’ve proved they’re a licensed and legitimate lawyer.

ALSO: TLDEF AKA THE TRANSGENDER LEGAL DEFENSE & EDUCATION FUND (TLDEF.ORG) is an actual nonprofit transgender law firm based in NYC and I have physically been there and they were able to help me afford my name change (free and donation based) a few years ago, and they also help connect people with attorneys for civil rights cases & anything they can handle and help you with, they’ve helped me immensely via email & you can call them too it’s a small organization and the people there are trans and LGBTQIA people and hopefully they can help you. You can donate to them every time you use amazon if you use the smile.amazon link:
