Summary
Seattle is an epicenter for
trans* art, culture, and politics. Yet navigating basic services, such as
healthcare, education, employment, and housing can present significant barriers
for trans* people, their families, and communities. While state and municipal
laws prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and expression, trans*
people continue to experience vulnerabilities based on ongoing discrimination,
stigma, isolation, violence, and related poverty.
The 2014 King County Trans*
Resource & Referral Guide aims to educate and raise awareness of community
needs and gaps in services, while strengthening partnerships between existing
services and improving the system of referrals between organizations and groups
county-wide. The guide
focuses on free or low-cost community-based resources and includes health and
wellness services, peer support, advocacy groups, cultural and social
connections, and more.
The guide was produced over six
months in a collaborative process coordinated by the LGBTQ Access Project. A
number of local stakeholders groups were involved, such as: Ingersoll Gender
Center, Gender Justice League,
Gendercast, Gender Diversity, Gender Odyssey, the Washington Gender Alliance,
NW Network of Bi, Trans, Lesbian, and Gay Survivors of Abuse, Asian Pacific
Islander Chaya, Seattle HIV Vaccine Trial Unit, Teen Feed, and many others. The
project is receiving support from King County’s Equity and Social Justice
Initiative and the City of Seattle’s LGBT Commission.
