resourceBuild-A-Queer Kitresource
(currently sold out but you can put notifications on for restocks!)

Build-A-Queer kits are free boxes for trans and non-binary folk that contain important items to help with comfort and dysphoria!
(The kits are a little different depending on if you're mtf or ftm, but you can select which you like regardless!)
You get a selection of different items such as binders, trans tape, affirming underwear, sexual health items and little extras such as stickers, keyrings and plushies. The creators only ask that you don't take more than/anything you don't need as these kits are specifically for trans folk who can't afford/access these things normally. For example, if you already have a binder at home, maybe leave those for someone else who needs one. I believe there's also subtle payment methods and discreet shipping options to keep you safe! They do have limited items and sell out fast so be aware of that!

resourceTrevor Projectresource
One of the best resources for LGBTQ+ youth and there are pages with forums where you can ask for help anonymously and meet LGBTQ+ friends in a safe environment!

resourceGender Spectrumresource
Gender Spectrum is an organisation focused around educating many types of people on trans issues, including parents and healthcare professionals! When you first get to the website you get to say who you are (young person, teacher, looking to volunteer etc.) and what resources/pages you are looking for, making it really easy to navigate. There's pages and pages of information, access to a range of support groups, book/article recommendations, advice on how to find mental health services and a range of links to hotlines and other useful trans services too!

resourceUS Rights and UK Rightsresource
(More places coming soon!)
The laws and rights that apply to trans folk in the US and the UK. That isn't to say law enforcement always upholds and will protect your rights, sadly, but these are the legal guidelines and what you should be entitled to in certain circumstances, eg. jobs, in education, or simply out and about, as well as possible future plans and votes on these rights. - *in the US it does vary by state.

resourceSpectrum Outfittersresource - great quality binders and one of the most diverse ranges of models I've seen! They also have a great selection of queer books.
