This is an information resource mainly written for trans US citizens considering emigrating to another country, although we hope it is useful beyond that. Please treat this wiki as a starting point for your own research, not as an authoritative source of truth or as legal advice. Many of the authors have gone through the process themselves and want to share what they have learned.
Strands For Trans is a global network of hair, beauty, and wellness industries and organizations that seek to create and inspire safe and positive experiences for all guests, especially guests from the trans community.
Transfeminine Science is a resource for original informational content on the subject of transfeminine hormone therapy. This form of hormone therapy is also known variously as feminizing hormone therapy (FHT), gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) for transfeminine people, and, more in the past, male-to-female (MtF) hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It involves the use of female sex hormones including estrogens and progestogens, as well as androgen-opposing medications known as antiandrogens, to produce feminization, demasculinization, alleviation of gender dysphoria, and other changes in transgender women and non-binary transfeminine individuals.
Transfeminine Science was created by Aly and contains articles by different writers on transfeminine hormone therapy. Our authors and other information are listed on our About page. The content on this site is written by transgender people, for transgender people, as well as for medical providers and academics in transgender health. A categorized listing of articles on Transfeminine Science can be found on the Articles page, while a listing of articles by date can be found on the Latest page. The Misc page contains other content like useful tools, notable publications, and links. The articles on this site are wiki-esque living documents, and hence may be updated, expanded, and improved over time.

This project seeks to provide "travel advice" for trans travelers (and our companions) based on laws and practical safety within various jurisdictions.
It is not geared towards people already living in a jurisdiction. For instance, laws about medical insurance won't generally be mentioned, as most people traveling will have out-of-jurisdiction medical insurance. Likewise, laws about school athletics will not be mentioned as these generally don't impact travelers. However, information that might impact travelers in different situation will be mentioned. For instance, someone assigned to a business project for several months in a state may need to utilize medical care. Others may travel with children and be concerned about how this could be seen as child abuse or cause child custody issues.
