Founded in 2017 by Dani Farrell (he/they), our organization was inspired by the urgent need for a supportive community in response to alarming mental health and suicide statistics among transmasculine individuals. Dani’s personal experiences with the challenges of finding reliable resources and a supportive network motivated the creation of TBuddy. Recognizing that isolation, alienation, and the search for understanding were pervasive issues, Dani envisioned a space where transmasculine people could connect with peers who truly understand their unique experiences.

TBuddy was built on the principles of peer support and community, addressing these multifaceted needs. Over the past seven years, our organization has evolved into a vibrant and supportive network. Today, we provide a 24/7 space where transmasculine individuals can openly share their journeys, seek support, and connect with others who understand their experiences.

​

In addition to our core support services, we have expanded to offer a variety of programs and initiatives which include research data and survey collection to better address community needs, resource navigation to help with access to essential services like insurance and healthcare, and resume and education workshops. We also engage in speaking engagements and host a podcast to provide valuable insights and amplify diverse voices. Our ongoing efforts reflect our commitment to empowering transmasculine individuals and fostering their personal and professional growth.

At TBuddy, we are dedicated to providing a compassionate and confidential environment where everyone feels valued and heard. Through our continued focus on inclusivity and empowerment, we strive to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of those we support.
