In recognition of the fact that gender identities exist on a continuum and may be fluid, resources here have been grouped into categories for ease of use, listed alphabetically. Because of this, you may find a particular resource linked in more than one area because it may be relevant to more than one gender identity. That is by design, so that you can more readily access what you might need, without wading through things that may not be relevant to you.
We welcome feedback or resource shares at any time. Please email us at: counselingservices@maine.edu
