At InReach, we provide the world’s first free web and mobile resource platform designed for LGBTQ+ people fleeing persecution. Whether you are a LGBTQ+ person leaving an unsafe community, or crossing the border between states or countries, InReach’s free tech resource platform is here to help you navigate your journey to safety.
Right now, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is calling on โlicensed professionalsโ and โmembers of the general publicโ to report the parents of transgender minors to state authorities if it appears the minors are receiving gender-affirming medical care.
At InReach, we know that gender-affirming care saves lives. Trans youth and their loved ones in Texas can use our free technology to access independently verified affirming services. Additionally, families planning to relocate to another state or send their trans kids out-of-state, can also use our free resource platform to identify verified trans affirming services in their new community.
