Trans Lifeline and other crisis and suicide resources

There's a new hotline for transgender people in crisis, Trans Lifeline.  They've been open for a few months but just went public, and the response seems BIG.

If you've got a few bucks, even $5 or $10, please consider donating to them -- you can help save someone's life: http://www.gofundme.com/translifeline.

If you are struggling with suicide, please, talk to someone.
