The charity I want to provide is to cover emergency food and relocation costs for transgender people, as well as job training. We struggle with acceptance yes, but we also struggle with day to day living in a lot of cases. I already have an emergency food line set up for some of the trans communities ive set up online and it has helped people already. I also happen to be an atheist so religious fundamentalism is pretty much out of the question. I understand your concerns but im tired of writing memorials for my sisters.

That sounds like a really productive and noble way to help people. It definitely doesn't sound like you're trying to 'solve the problem' of transgendered people, like one might try to 'solve the problem of homelessness.'

The problem is far too big for me to solve, but i can reduce the overall suffering of those around me and those who look to me for leadership.
