She is often available through all hours of the night to answer the Transgender Helpline, which takes calls from people with gender issues, questions and crisis all over the world. Transpeople, people who are questioning their identity or their sexual orientation and people who may know others in this situation can call any time and get compassionate answers from Crandall and other volunteers.
