If you're in the Christmas spirit today:
→ Donate to trans people around you. Most trans people are isolated, find themselves without a job for most of their lives, and need any financial help they can get. On the Fediverse you'll be able to find crowdfunds and mutual aid funds with these hashtags: #transcrowdfund #mutualaid #mutualaidrequest #transmutualaid
→ Donate to trans organizations. Whether local charities or larger global-scale groups, they're all in dire need of support. Trans rights are receding across the globe. Trans organizations fight for those rights, and support trans people in regions where they're nonexistent. I don't have a single recommendation to make, but here's a few pointers:
• TransActual in the UK https://transactual.org.uk
• Acceptess-T in France https://www.acceptess-t.com
• ILGA World https://ilga.org
• our own org in France, Toutes des Femmes https://toutesdesfemmes.fr/don
• feel free to drop more in the replies!
→ Donate to me? 🥺
If you feel like it, if you appreciate my work on @TangerineUI, or just want to show a token of appreciation to a struggling trans gal on the Fediverse that will help her pay for some extra sweet things on the dinner table this week, feel free to poke that Ko-fi link https://ko-fi.com/nileane ✨
For real though, I'll never insist on this enough: to be a decent ally to your trans friends is to help them *materially*.
If you are able, donate widely and regularly. This is how you can make a difference.
