the Transgender Resource Guide
“Coming out as transgender or gender non-conforming (TGNC) isn’t easy, especially in a state like Mississippi. If or when you do, the last thing you want to worry about it how to find and receive life-necessary services.” - Jensen Luke Matar, Director
The Transgender Resource Guide of Mississippi is an interactive directory of Mississippi service providers and entities who openly and affirmingly serve transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) people in the areas of primary healthcare, gender transition, HIV care, mental health, legal service, advocacy, general support and more. We hope it helps you thrive.
This Guide is interactive. Feel free to click on any email. It will prepare an email to the service provider it belongs to. Feel free to click on any website. It will open the website belonging to the service provider selected. You can also choose to share, download, print, zoom in and control sound, by use of the toolbar at the top. If you are a service provider and would like to be added to our Guide, please send us a message from the “CONTACT US” tab on our website.
