This place is terrible. First it's mostly cis-run from counselors, to phone staff, to admin. This means discussions of trans oppression are taken as personal insult to the listener. This has devastating effect on the Community as I've observed it, as an activist, and partner to a nonbinary transperson.

Nonbinary identity is not respected here. I have heard this from community at more than one level. People get laughed at and called names, simply for asking for the respect of who they are. Get told their needs can't be meet simply because they've asked for timely call-back. Simply because they've asked common trans needs to be met under uncommon circumstances. When Center members get responses they don't expect they got defensive, they shift back unto the oppressed and hurting folks they've taken responsibility to help. They boot folks with a simple "we can't meet your needs.

At least one member touched a person inappropriately. Additionally, even the accessible bathroom was set up poorly and unusable. And a person seeking help was shamed for needing to reschedule for disability related illness.

More than one nonbinary person has told me this place was hostile, shaming and ineffective toward them.
