Trans

As an odd alien, I feel like perhaps another key or at least important feature could be an easier interface.

• A dozen lists of a thousand resources is twelve thousand things to look through and process and sort into mental space but actually maybe a couple thousand or so, many duplicates, much of the material irrelevant to many.
• As I said, much info is irrelevant to many. I find a lot of youth stuff... despite being something of an adult child myself, that stuff's certainly not for me. It's just more stuff to add to my processing burden, just that bit more to help overwhelm me with a forest when I need a fern.
• It can be really hard to tell if something's likely applicable to "me." For instance, there's a shelter organization here called Agate. Apparently the people there can be "rough," possibly specifically toward trans people. They offer shared-space beds on a daily basis, assigned as people call in beginning at 10AM. They don't seem to do stuff toward getting people off the street until someone's been in for long enough. They do fill up, and it can be quick enough that calling in the minute they open may be necessary. All of these things are very relevant but not very visible, so someone seeking shelter has to do a bunch of footwork, spend a bunch of time and possibly spoons, and/or get someone else to help them.

So there's a lot to go through even for one place and it may even be harder to dig through it than to actually get help. Dunno for sure, everything I've got came from "love measured in dollars and cents" "family" and the wonderful critters around here, but I bet some things are easier to literally get than to get through all' the resources for finding/getting it. Dunno if there's any remotely practical way to give everycritter a case manager or guide or something but it does feel like navigating resources to find relevant ones is harder than finding heaps of resources

Just ramblythoughts, on how to help critters 🤷
