this is a solid first step, much appreciated! I hope we can come together for even more to keep trans folks safe and healthy.
They need 24-hour security. Either ICE or MAGA lunatics will try to attack this place constantly.
This is why I'm so happy that theirs still hope. Hope in people.
Fantastic
Wait, it took humanity this long to have a trans homeless shelter?
I sincerely hope they have robust security mechanisms in place. This building will likely be a target for violent right-wing terrorism.
A few folks have pointed out that Ace's Place is not the first ever, but the first city-funded shelter for trans people. The article has been corrected to reflect that.

While I completely applaud these services, the publicity is a problem. I see a plethora of future bomb threats and harassment to anyone who enters/exits.
If they open a second one can it please be called "Finn's Inn"
Glad to see others have called out what I was thinking. Def not the first.
Please help. 😞😭

St James Infirmary founded the first transgender shelter the Taimon Booth Navigation Center in San Francisco which is now run by the SF Community Health Center.
I worked there it’s awesome and run by trans folks.

The Phyrric household proudly donated to this. I have a trans son, and though he is fortunate, MAGA is doing everything they can to destroy him.
MAGA snowflakes gonna melt over this. Hooboy!
