Note: This is not a crisis service. These are great people to talk to right now if you're a young queer or trans person scared about what life is going to be like in this increasingly Conservative climate, or if you're a young person of any sexual orientation or gender identity dealing with conservative family members, or relationship problems.

Please seek help if you need it, and if you need a resource that's not listed above, PM me.

Namaste,

Becky
