'''Charities and groups that benefit gender variant people''' include charitable organizations, non-profits, not-for-profits, and activist for-profit groups that focus on improving conditions for [[gender variant]] people. In particular, this page lists groups that focus on helping people who have [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity|identities]]. The groups may do this by changing identity paperwork laws to allow it a nonbinary legal gender, raising awareness of the existence of nonbinary gender, and defending nonbinary people who have been victims of violence and discrimination. This page also will list groups that have a broader focus on helping [[transgender]] people of all kinds, and also of related issues for [[intersex]] people. Most of these groups accept donations and/or volunteers. | |||
For now, this page will list groups by name, in alphabetical order. Unless otherwise cited, quotations come from the "about" web-pages of the groups in question. | For now, this page will list groups by name, in alphabetical order.
