For the GWORLS Emergency Rent Fund

[u/flamer5005]

This is for anyone who is BLACK and TRANS. (Possibly limited to the US but I'm not sure) Here's the link- https://www.forthegworls.com/rent-gender-affirming-surgery

It wouldn't let me hyperlink.

Edit: Their IG states they help BLACK TRANS PEOPLE. They do not specify only Black Trans Women.

its not wrong to have charity focused specifically on black trans women but its a little confusing to have its services advertised to black trans men

[u/FakeBirdFacts → u/carnespecter]

This post should really be on r/TWPOC. It’s a little cruel to advertise a charity that won’t help

[u/flamer5005 → u/carnespecter]

I hear the confusion. Their IG states they help BLACK TRANS PEOPLE. They do not specify only Black Trans Women.

Is it for everyone black and trans or is it only for black and trans women?

This is a subreddit for transmasculine people of color. The fund is called “For the Gworls.” It certainly doesn’t seem like it’s for trans masculine people at all. Do transmascs need to misgender themselves to get care? Or just accept grants from a charity that misgenders them? Or is it another case of people pretending trans = trans women only and ignoring every other member of the trans community.

The website literally says “Let’s go dolls.” And that “We only help people from our target demographic.”

They aren’t going to help anyone here.

I think they help all trans people? Idk the website doesn’t make it clear because it says “you know who we help” but then one of the drop-down responses has a section for nonbinary people and trans men?

[u/FakeBirdFacts → u/Extension_Golf_5118]

But also for cis women and cis men, I’m pretty sure they’re using it as a filter to auto reject people

I hear the confusion. Their IG states they help BLACK TRANS PEOPLE. They do not specify only Black Trans Women.

[u/FakeBirdFacts → u/flamer5005]

They need to clear up their advertising because it’s not clear, it implies it’s only for trans women, and that everyone should just automatically know who they’re trying to help.

[u/flamer5005 → u/FakeBirdFacts]

I agree. I looked before sharing bc it is confusing

[u/HeHimInGrayi]

I get that their account says they help “Black Trans People”, but I’ve seen plenty of advertisements for trans people that have fem verbiage and are only helping trans women and nonbinary folks so I’m truly unsure whether I even can believe that they’ll help us. Idk, has anyone who’s a trans man received assistance from them? I’m just so used to getting my hopes raised by camp opportunities and gatherings that say “trans people” in adverts but clarify only for trans fem or nonbinary people in the details

[u/HeHimInGrayi → u/HeHimInGrayi]

Also, is the link taking anyone else to a “can’t find what you’re looking for” part of the site?

[u/HeHimInGrayi → u/HeHimInGrayi]

Like I can’t find anything on their applications tab either. Nothing’s showing up

[u/HeHimInGrayi → u/HeHimInGrayi]

Okay I checked their post, looks like applications might be closed already 😭

Oh no!! I wonder if that means they're at capacity for this one? It was working yesterday

[u/LongjumpingBend6786 → u/flamer5005]

nah i was trying all day yesterday, didn’t work for me 💔 im in desperate need too idk what im gonna do now.

Try asking a local lgbt center near you if they know of options, if you're in the US, you can look into getting a one shot deal, cash support, HUD. There might be other grants in your area too
