what's the deal with Trans Lifeline? I had their number saved when I was transitioning and had a lot of depression going on from bullying and family not accepting. are they not a good resource for us?

edit: why am I being downvoted?

thank you for explaining. it's so unfortunate that our community doesn't seem to organize effectively to take care of ourselves. I've seen similar issues in the spaces I've volunteered for as well. infighting, flakiness and a lack of effective organization. :/
