This repository is a curated directory of practical safety and health resources for people in the US who face discrimination or barriers to care, specifically people from minority communities and women. Think of it as a crowdsourced safety handbook: a single place to find links to guides and tools that address real concerns. The repository is organized by topic. It starts with general safety advice, pointing people toward information about protecting themselves on social media and defending against surveillance. It also includes resources specifically for transgender and non-binary people seeking medical information about hormone replacement therapy and related support, which addresses a gap where many people lack access to affirming healthcare through traditional channels. Someone might come here if they're searching for practical guidance on protecting their privacy online, or if they're looking for medical information and community resources that aren't readily available through mainstream healthcare systems. A transgender person seeking information about DIY options, for example, could find relevant links. A woman concerned about her digital safety could access social media security tips. The repository serves as a starting point to find vetted, focused resources rather than having to piece together safety advice from scattered corners of the internet. The project is deliberately simple: it's a straightforward list hosted on GitHub, with links pointing outward to more detailed resources rather than trying to replicate that information. This makes it easy to maintain and share, and it acknowledges that specialized communities and organizations already exist and do this work well, the repository just connects people to them. It's a resource that recognizes certain communities have specific safety and health needs that mainstream channels often don't address adequately.
