As some of you may know, I’ve just barely started the process of transitioning, and have been looking for resources related to this. I’ve found some pretty great ones, especially Trans Academy (which I somehow knew about from when I was “totally cis”), but most of the resources I’ve found seem a little scattered and I’d love to have some kind of a guide that may even include harder to find “DIY” tips that other groups might not address. Since there doesn’t seem to be anything out there (to my knowledge) that includes all of the useful info someone who’s starting out might need, I was thinking that this could be a good place to start such a project. So I had some questions:

1. Do you think this is a good or bad idea? and why?
2. What form should this take? Someone mentioned cryptpad.fr to me, and it seems ideal for what I had in mind, which is something like an easy-to-navigate wiki with contents and search, and if possible a list of sources/links for the info it contains. I’d love to hear other suggestions if you have them, though. Maybe eventually a website could work once a lot of the info has been fleshed out.
3. What should be the scope of the guide? I was initially thinking the focus should be on trans (masc/femme) and NB identities, but should it be expanded to include a much larger group?
4. What are potential legal issues, if any, with putting such a guide out there and what would be the best way to deal with that?
5. What would be the best way to collaborate on this? Should there be stuff like approval, version control, etc?
6. Is there anything else I’m missing here that you’d like to talk about?

This was just something I was thinking about, and I thought I’d make a post to see what others think, but please feel free to give honest feedback on whether or not this would be a good idea or if it could even work. Thanks!
