    These are serious allegations that make this entire organization look downright sketchy and possibly exploitative. Trans Rescue has posted a response to that article on their website back in 2022, but it seems like it hasn't even covered most of the allegations. I'm curious to see if they can give us some answers. We'd be risking putting our trans community in danger, so if they're not able to give us some good answers, then we should really stop promoting them.

      I'm glad it's not just me, I felt a little bit bad even posting them, since I get that the people promoting that medium article seem like they have strong grievances with trans rescue that may extend beyond genuine concern, but it seems like the response to such allegations was lackluster and lacking substance as well, and they've gotten if anything less transparent since.

      In order, here's the posts I see from them addressing this:

      • https://transrescue.org/responding-to-our-attackers
      • https://transrescue.org/finding-a-way-out-of-an-internet-attack
      • https://transrescue.org/bunkering-against-attack-services-reduced

      the last post seems to have been in response to the medium article (shutting down taking new clients entirely because the people writing the medium article had pretended to be prospective clients to get some of the pictured screengrabs)
