The Bronx Trans Collective is a new drop-in center near Yankee Stadium in the Bronx in New York City.

[The Center] will aim to bring together people who are often overlooked or disconnected even in New York City, which is considered to be the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement. The center will help transgender people get surgeries, hormone treatments, mental health counseling and assistance with legal name changes and job searches, among other services. It will also host regular support groups, youth counseling, meditation and yoga classes and cookouts on its back terrace.

The center is important for me because it is going to give me convenience, safety and a sense of community.
