Trans Lifeline is a peer-run hotline staffed entirely by trans operators, with an explicit non-coercive policy (no non-consensual active rescue). It is the longest-standing peer-led crisis line in the trans community.
Worth reading alongside WPATH Standards of Care v8 (linked elsewhere in this library) for the clinical context, and Point of Pride for material-aid programs (HRT access funds, surgery funds, free binders).
Mental Hum's library is a curated index of authoritative third-party resources. The summary above is our own framing; the full information lives at the source.
