I want to elaborate on this a little:
For both kids AND adults, sometimes one of the hardest things to do in a big crisis is figure out where and how to help.
And often, the best answer to that isn't "reinvent the wheel," it's "find existing efforts and join in."

An important addendum to "look for the helpers" is "and then join them."

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... & of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
