MaineTransNet
Maine's only trans advocacy organization, supporting and empowering trans people to create a world where they can thrive.
Our mission is to support and empower transgender people to create a world where they can thrive.
MaineTransNet is a community based organization led by transgender people for transgender people. We provide peer-to-peer support groups, social and community events, advocacy for the transgender community across Maine, and transgender cultural competency training for medical, mental health, and social service providers. We engage transgender people and our allies across Maine in the practice of community building and organizing for mutual liberation. Our work is rooted in a deep desire to care for one another, which leads us to focus our efforts on building systems of mutual support on a bedrock of accessibility, inclusivity, and hospitality. We view structures of power and oppression as interlocking, and believe in finding our leadership from among those people who experience this as a reality in their daily lives.

I'm going sober for January
Hi there, For those who know me, they understand that I have suffered with alcohol addiction for many years. In 2023, my longest sober streak was 33 days. My second longest was 14 days. Since then I have strived to become less dependent on alcohol. Throughout January, I will be partaking in Dry January. No alcohol. None. Nada. 2024 needs to be the year I work on my physical health and this is a great way to start. I will be keeping everyone posted on my social media as I progress through January. You can follow me on almost anything under "meltheburrow". In order to help me through this journey, I have decided to raise money for a charity that is dear to my heart. Maine TransNet. "Our mission is to support and empower transgender people to create a world where they can thrive." - MaineTransNet Even if you can only donate a dollar, every penny will count towards helping transgender individuals across Maine. Thank you.

Supporting this awesome organization again as they fight a series of anti-trans bills in the Maine legislature (including trying to ban trans youth from school sports programs) 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
