Hi! I myself am straight but I had a very close friend of mine earlier tonight, who I knew was gay already, tell me that he is transgendered as well and will start taking hormones in a month or two. He can't put it on his insurance because it's still under his mother, and he doesn't want her knowing. Also, his deductible is so huge that it won't help him much at all anyway.

My question to you guys is: Is there some sort of charity or assistance for transgender people who can't afford the medical care? He is a very sweet person and I want him to be happy, so I'm doing my best to help him out. smile The only problem is this is unfamiliar territory to me and merely googling for "transgender charity" and "transgender assistance" isn't really helping. sweatdrop

Any help or advice would be much appreciated at this point. smile
