      If you want to make a website to list various resources, then by all means. I think as far as existing sites that aim to do something similar, Trans Lifeline Resources is my favorite.

      As far as “How precise do we want to get with these resources?” I am not quite certain what you mean. If you mean, how does one use one of these resources, then it will vary based on the resource. Some provide a community to talk, information, financial, or relocation assistance, all of which is usually described in further detail when you click the link to the resource.

      If you mean, how detailed/plentiful do we want to get with the resources, I don’t yet have an idea, however as more are added It might make more sense to adjust how it is organized or break up the list.

      However, If you have additional ones you wish to add, just comment them for others to see, and I plan to at the very least update the original post and potentially cross-posts.

        I’m mostly suggesting it because posting it on posts on Lemmy is not ideal for people to find things and I think that with time it might get unwieldy that way.

        As for how precise, I mean in terms of location, I know some organizations that are regional to where I live but obviously would be useless for someone who is not close to here.

        I feel like depending on how regional we might want to go that it might also be easier to look on a website since it might be easier to filter by region. What do you think?

        I’d probably add these from the Montreal region in Quebec, Canada since I’ve talked to them in the past: https://ccglm.org/ https://www.rezosante.org/
