Hey! While those are amazing ways of supporting trans women and you should def check out and donate to these orgs, I’d like to remind people that Rowling’s terf bullshit has impacted very badly trans people in the UK, and all those are all US orgs from what I can gather. It’s great to support them, but Rowling has been particularly influential in fucking over trans people’s lives in the UK and made it really unsafe for UK trans people (which, as ever, means it’s even more unsafe for UK trans poc) .
I’d also argue that while Rowling is particularly vitriolic towards trans women, her stance and voice and lobbying end up affecting trans people in the UK as a whole. So while you shower trans women with love and support, please spread some of that love and support to other trans people too!
It’s past midnight and I have to be up in less than 5 hours so I don’t have the time or energy to put up an actual list myself besides some quick searching, but I’d love for everyone reblogging this to look up local trans uk orgs, especially trans poc uk orgs, and support them too.
(I apologize I tried to look for specifically Welsh trans funds or orgs but couldn’t find any - I did find the UNIQUE network but couldn’t find a page on how to support them - so if anyone knows of one please let me know!)
I encourage anyone to reblog this with more specific organisations or funds and gofundmes of UK trans people and especially trans women! And I encourage everyone to check out and support the orgs listed above, especially trans poc organisations!!
I’m also encouraging you to, in general, consider also supporting non-US trans people and organisations, even if they get less promoted (especially non-Western ones!). Trans people exist all over the world and deserve just as much support!!
Thank you so much! As a trans person living in the uk I was gonna point this out. J k rowling has already severely affected our laws and how trans people receive medical care so whilst I support the US trans community its a bit disheartening that even posts reminding you to help the people she hurts are US focused

Man I wish they had more room for Indiana because beef Manhattans slap hard and nobody knows what that is outside of Indiana, and even then it’s kind of a north-centralish thing.
I need a breaded tenderloin again next time I’m in the area though…
i thought Beef/turkey Manhattan was one of those Ubiquitious Diner Foods? If it’s weirdly local why is it called a Manhattan? What else in my life is a lie (dramatic hand on forehead)
Context for the dash: beef manhattan is a pot roast sandwhich served with mashed potatoes either next to it or on it, the entire thing covered in brown gravy. usually made with sad squishy white bread. It is delicious messy starchy comfort food with almost no redeeming nutritive value.
It might be poll time.
I lived in Indiana for seven years, and I have never heard of a beef manhattan.
The spirit in funeral potatoes in Utah is very very strong, but fry sauce is stronger.
I’m not sure we could have done this notion of an interlinked Marvel Cinematic Universe without Captain America. Whether it’s bit by a spider or exposed to gamma rays, the notion of a super-powered human started with Steve Rogers. He is the backbone of the universe. - Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios
