Points of Interest

I made this site at the tail-end of pride month 2025, after going over all the resources I had accumulated from the pride events I had gone to. I always try to share what resources I have with people and the different community orgs I'm in, but that can be difficult when you're just one person and you only have one copy of a flyer you got at pride. And I know so many people who these resources could be of use to, so I decided to make this repository!A little about myself, the list-keeper; I'm a transmasc (he/they), born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, and I regularly go up to the city.Boystown made me who I am. It's where I realized I could start testosterone, where I got my hrt prescription, where I made some of my dearest friends. But us folks in the suburbs need to be taken care of too, and that's what these resources are for.Also, thank you to my boys (gender neutral) at TMAC for coming up with the name for this site (as well as many other fantastic ideas), because I couldn't! I really owe those boys so much, they've (collectively and individually) helped me so much with so many aspects of this project, I love them all with my whole heart.And thank you to my TMAC boys and my PFLAG chapter (Tinley Park) for giving me resources to add, as well as everyone else who's ever submitted a resource!!! Thank you!!!View the changelog for the website here
