Queerguru have always believed that Santa has never ever discriminated. against anyone. True he may occasionally had lapses of good tastes when delivering a questionable toy to us THAT WE NEVER EVER asked for way back when .
Anyway we still think he’s a good guy as does 25-year-old “Pose” actor Indya Moore. They (preferred pronoun) just thinks that he needs some help. So they has started TransSanta, an initiative that lets all of us anonymously gift presents to trans kids and young adults in need. It will help lighten Santa’s load too.
Moore explained “Trans issues don’t receive much visibility or attention unfortunately, but this year has been the most violent and deadly for my community. It has been very upsetting.” Moore explains how they hatched the idea for TransSanta with friend Chase Strangio, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. The duo enlisted the help of Kyle Lasky and Pidgeon Pagonis. It’s estimated that LGBTQ youth make up 40% of the youth homeless population in the United States, despite representing 7% of the general youth population, according to True Colors United.
On TransSanta’s accompanying Instagram page, users can read letters submitted by almost 200 children. Users can then select a child to be taken to a Target registry with their wish list. There’s a 15-year-old in Tennessee asking for a cozy color-blocked sweater, while an 8-year-old in California asks for a tablet pen. Other gift requests range from a basketball to a rice cooker.
