RECURSOS DE APOYO
Representation in the media can be powerfully affirming and deeply inspiring both within and beyond the Trans+ community. As the directory of Trans celebrities, actors, activists, and artists grows, so too, do public understanding and affirmation. If you are simply looking for interesting and exciting people to look up to in this vibrant culture, a way to see yourself or a loved one represented on screen or embraced by the public, or a person to learn and grow from, you’ve come to the right place. :)
