btw transanta is starting soon so if you have the means to give, i highly recommend. i think it's especially important after this month to show trans kids that they're not alone & there are people who love & value them & want them to have access to gender affirming things. trans people apply & add a wishlist for xmas along with a little blurb about who they are & why they need transanta. gifters are then able to go into the wishlists & purchase stuff for them directly.

Hello hello if anyone is looking for an adopt-a-kid-esque giving for the holidays, transanta has their letters + Amazon registries up for the year. They have hundreds of trans youth write in with their wishlists each year, from the very young to their age cap at 24. You can view the letters on the site. Some of the letters can get quite detailed about the abuse some of the youth have suffered, so tread gently. All giving is through anonymous purchases.

Their registries and gift donations are entirely run through Amazon + Amazon registries, so their global reach is limited to the USA/Mexico/Canada/France/Germany/Italy/Spain/UK. If anyone knows of similar programs outside of those countries, please add them in a reblog!

I know times are, to put it lightly, catastrophically rough rn and there is need all over the world. This is just one of many ways to help, especially during the holidays when things can be deeply fraught. That's all love you all happy holidays.

Send gifts to trans youth in need, safely and anonymously!

To my USAmerican followers: if you have any pocket money to spare this holiday season, please consider donating some of it to Transanta, an offshoot or Allies in Arts. Young genderqueer people, especially those living below the poverty line, need our help now more than ever.

I want to share my favorite holiday tradition— for some reason I assumed everyone already knew about it but I found out some people didn't so!!!

Every year I try to participate in...

💖 Transanta 💖

...which is a kind of holiday gift registry situation for trans people! It's super well organized; people write letters which are then connected to gift registries and you can just buy them the things they ask for off there. It also shows you who has had a lot of their stuff gotten already so you can focus on making sure everyone gets something.

Lots of them have small $10-ish items, some of them have gift cards, and then if you're rolling in holiday family cash there are definitely some bigger items you can help people with.

When I was a kid before I knew they sucked we did the Salvation Army angel tree thing—this is an alternative where you can specifically help trans people, whether with just a nice holiday gift (everyone deserves presents) or with something they really need. 💕

Check it out!!!

Hi Hi

I'm not sure if you guys are sympathetic or anything but I'd figure I'd try.

There's a program named Trans Santa and it aids trans/non binary youth under age 25 get gifts/necessities they need/want.

People can buy them gifts off their registry's or can donate money to a pool the kid can use to buy stuff.

There are so many kids on there that need things, I learned about it from a kid in my building. She's gotten most of what she wants but there are so many others.

You have a big platform so I was wondering if you could share this message, maybe any of your followers could do something nice for a few kids?

This is such a wonderful program! We're happy to signal boost.

Here's the Instagram post Anon linked to. And here's the link to Transanta's website with all the details:

Thanks for sharing, dear!

(And hopefully the real Christmas miracle is that by posting stuff like this more transphobes will unfollow us. We need to clean house.)

Transanta

Send gifts to trans youth in need, safely and anonymously!

Transanta is a mutual aid project that connects anonymous gift-givers with trans youth who are unhoused, in foster care, or otherwise without crucial support they need to thrive. Transanta exists to show trans youth that they are loved and supported, and that they have a family of people around the world who care for them, believe in them, and want them to succeed. Research shows that trans youth with supportive families have a 52% decrease in suicidal thoughts—Transanta aims to broaden our understanding of family and structural support so that our entire community can experience affirmation and love even when those close to them may hurt or fail them. Ultimately, our capacity for love, care, and connection can disrupt some of the structural limits on our survival opportunities and create more space for people to thrive and continue rich trans legacies of social and political transformation.
