Transgender (trans) people in the United States experience staggering marginalization. To survive, trans people turn to their communities for support. In this study, I use in-depth interviews with 10 trans people living in “Townsville” to explore the social support trans and LGBTQ communities provide to trans members. What types of support are available? How does this support enable survival? How do differences in communities influence support? I found four types of support: emotional, institutional, bodily, and financial. The focus and composition of communities determined the types of support provided, and communities were divided based on gender and class. By concentrating on the contexts in which support occurs, my study adds to trans studies and sexualities scholarship concerned with how local trans and LGBTQ communities are experienced.
