TranQuility, Free Store Among Alachua County's Transgender

"Those in Alachua County who are transgender or non-binary (a gender identity that is not exclusively masculine or feminine, thus outside of the gender binary), and the friends and allies of those who are, have access to several community resources.

Awareness of such resources is underscored by statistics pointed out by Sean Ochal, a member of various transgender and social groups in Gainesville. About 41 percent of transgender people have or will attempt suicide, he said, and roughly 57 percent have been rejected by their families."
