Many men and trans women are in long-term, fulfilling relationships supported by family, friends, and community.

Men’s family and friends may also be unsupportive or disrespectful.

We all deserve access to loving, respectful relationships that are welcomed into families and communities. This website provides practical advice for everyone who supports healthier relationships between men and trans women.
