“I see you. You’re valid. You’re enough. I’ve got your back.”

It’s a simple message, but for many trans youth and adults, letters of affirmation, even from total strangers, can be lifesaving.

It’s why messages like the above are the heart of an effort by Point of Pride, a national organization dedicated to helping trans people access gender-affirming care. Oftentimes, they are accompanied by monetary support to help folks access the care they need. Point of Pride offers scholarship-like programs for hormone replacement therapy – 153 recipients were recently awarded over $342,00 through the HRT Access Fund – as well as for electrolysis, gender reassignment surgery, and free chest binders or femme shapewear. The letter-writing campaign is meant to help trans people feel safe, healthy, and loved.
