Description
This downloadable resource bundle was created by Loom Collective for community organizers, educators, clinicians, peer supporters, and anyone who wants practical tools for talking about the current sociopolitical climate impacting trans people and responding with both action and care.
The bundle includes two PDFs:
-
Facilitator Guide: a step-by-step guide for leading a 90-minute workshop on anti-trans political escalation, modern conversion practices, community advocacy, and trans joy.
-
Handout + Worksheet: a participant-facing handout that outlines the broader political context, names common harmful and conversion-therapy-adjacent practices, and includes an action-planning worksheet for small group discussion and next steps.
This resource was designed to help people name what is happening more clearly, recognize how national attacks show up in local institutions, and identify concrete ways to respond in schools, clinics, organizations, and communities.
The Joy Archive activity invites participants to reflect on moments of trans joy they have experienced or witnessed, while honoring privacy, consent, and the fact that not everyone in the room will be trans. The goal is not just to analyze harm, but to build capacity for action while also making space for connection, pleasure, meaning, and survival.
This resource may be especially useful for:
-
LGBTQIA+ community groups
-
teachers and school staff
-
student organizations
-
mental health providers
-
parent groups
-
mutual aid networks
-
grassroots organizers and facilitators
You are welcome to adapt this guide for non-commercial community education, organizing, classroom use, and staff development with attribution to Loom Collective. If you are using this resource within a funded institution or organization, we encourage choosing a higher contribution tier when possible so community members and grassroots organizers can continue accessing Loom resources at low or no cost.
