Dear QTP Cutie,

Now that Pride Month has come to a close, I wanted to personally thank you for standing with Queer Trans Project and our community.

Pride may only last one month, but our work continues every single day. The need for gender-affirming care, support, and community doesn't disappear on July 1, and thanks to you, we're able to continue showing up for transgender and nonbinary people all year long.

Because of your generosity, together we raised $16,794 during Pride Month.

Those gifts will help us purchase the gender-affirming items needed for our next Build-A-Queer Kit restock, allowing us to prepare supplies for more than 1,300 free Build-A-Queer Kits that will be distributed to transgender and nonbinary people across the United States.

Whether you made a donation, volunteered your time, attended an event, shared our work, or simply encouraged someone to learn more about Queer Trans Project, thank you. Every act of support helps remind someone that they are seen, valued, and loved.

Celebrating International Nonbinary People's Day

This week also marks Nonbinary Awareness Week, culminating in International Nonbinary People's Day.

It's a time to celebrate nonbinary people, raise awareness of the diversity within our community, and recognize that nonbinary people have always existed.

At Queer Trans Project, we celebrate the beautiful ways people experience and express gender every single day.

To honor this week, we're offering 50% off Gender Grip with the code IAmAmazing. Every purchase helps support Queer Trans Project's mission, with proceeds helping us ship free gender-affirming care kits to transgender and nonbinary people across the country.

We'd love to celebrate your voice, too.

What does being nonbinary mean to you?

Reply to this email and share your story, your journey, or what being nonbinary means in your own words. With your permission, we'll anonymously feature some of your responses in our upcoming blog to celebrate the many ways people experience and express their identities.

Join Our New Community

One of the greatest gifts we can offer one another is community.

That's why we recently launched r/TransCommunityCare, a space centered on community care and mutual aid where transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people can ask questions, share resources, celebrate milestones, and support one another through every stage of life.

Whether you're looking for encouragement, practical advice, or simply a place where people understand your experiences, we'd love to have you there.

Inside you'll find:

• 💜 Community support and encouragement

• 🤝 Mutual aid and opportunities to help one another

• 🏳️‍⚧️ Transition questions and shared experiences

• 📦 Gender-affirming resources

• 🎉 Celebrations and milestones

• 📚 Helpful guides and organizations

• 💬 Honest conversations with people who understand

Together, we're building a community rooted in mutual aid, compassion, and the belief that none of us should have to navigate life alone.

Pride isn't over just because June has ended. Every care kit shipped, every resource shared, and every person reminded that they belong helps build a future where transgender and nonbinary people can thrive.

Thank you for being part of that future.

With gratitude,

Cielo Sunsarae
Founder & Executive Director
