HELPING HAND. After witnessing an acquaintance struggle through his recovery, Elizabeth Tyler realized that trans folk could use some post-surgery help with meals, so she created the Freezer Project.
Now entering its second year, the Freezer Project is an initiative that provides a portable freezer containing 30 homemade frozen meals —and the occasional ice cream bar or eclair — to individuals who have undergone sex reassignment surgery (SRS).
The project, started by trans activist and community agitator Elizabeth Tyler in 2008, is a free service open to both trans men and trans women. It fills a critical gap for people who may not have other options in terms of household support post-surgery.
