A friend of mine and I were discussing how awesome it would be if there was a local charity that actually helped out transgenders with all their legal and surgery related financial needs (like basic surgery needed for court to recognize your gender, and then the actual legal name and gender change).
So my first question is, how would we go about doing something like this? And what are some creative ways to establish, promote, and receive money for it?
Secondly, one of my original ideas was to write a book, with obviously all the proceeds going straight to our "foundation"... It would be a compilation on the different aspects of gender, like stories, cartoons, articles, information, poetry. A mix of chicken soup and the "such and such" for dummies. Which I think would be an amazing way to promote education on the subject.
Which leads me to my second question, does anyone have any ideas or contributions? I wanna hear your story. I mean where you're at in life.
If you don't feel comfortable talking about it here in the forum, please send me a message.
Yeah, maybe its a little far-fetched, but I'm tired of just wishing there was something like that out there, and I'm ready to actively start making change.
