InReach App

I have not used InReach myself, but I believe it is an indispensable resource for anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+. All organizations are verified by volunteers and many include reviews from clients/users. Further, the app prioritizes intersectionality, which makes it a great resource for LGBTQ+ people who are also BIPOC, immigrant, non-English speaking, or HIV-positive - unlike online resource lists that tend to neglect certain communities. I support InReach because it works directly with these organizations to ensure that the diverse LGBTQ+ community can feel safe and supported.

When I first began my transition in my 20’s I didn’t know where to start. InReach helped me access the resources necessary to step into my identity as a trans man. I used the app to locate affirming legal help for my name and gender maker changes, gender affirming medical care and mental health services as I navigated my transition.

My family lives in a hostile state that has already outlawed gender affirming care for my child. We use the app as part of our survival strategy. There are too many barriers to relocation at the moment, so we are using the app to find the closest care. We are also using the app to determine where we will go when it is no longer can remain here. We need resources for the whole family and trust the resources listed on InReach because of the recertification process.
