Help a homeless trans woman in Virginia.

This is an amazing and beautiful article from an incredible young woman who is helping out a trans woman in Virginia. Hi all! So, as you know, Virginia is one of the hardest places in America to be a woman. The lack of access to healthcare and the lack of legal recognition has been one of my biggest struggles, but one thing I really try to do with the least amount of effort is help the trans woman in Virginia by finding ways to improve her access to healthcare. And recently, I've been doing exactly that. I've been working out regularly with a local doctor who's also transgender. I've always been a huge advocate of transitioning early so we can start when we start and I can feel great about my body and how it is. I don't even want to transition so much because I know I could get in so many ways if I were to just decide to be cis. And I guess you could say I'm not sure if it's even necessary. I can see myself and this young woman getting out there, so maybe I'm not really making the point of it but I feel like I'm not really getting anywhere here. It would really help if you guys would share the same story with me and ask me if I'm being selfish or not.
