A Mid-Year Reflection From Trans Recovery Supply (2020)

As the year reached its midpoint, we took time to reflect on how much had unfolded in a relatively short period.

January 2020 marked an important moment for Trans Recovery Supply — the point at which we began offering post-operative recovery kits to individuals preparing for and healing from gender-affirming surgeries. Since then, we’ve been able to support people across the United States and into Canada, helping make recovery supplies more accessible regardless of location.

Gratitude for the Trust We’ve Been Given

We’re deeply thankful to everyone who trusted Trans Recovery Supply as a recovery resource — including trans and gender non-conforming individuals, patients, loved ones, and allies.

When TRS was first created, we didn’t fully know how useful these recovery kits and services would become. Hearing from people who felt more prepared, less overwhelmed, or simply supported during recovery has been both humbling and affirming. That feedback continues to shape how we grow.

Community Connections That Matter

Along the way, we’ve had the opportunity to connect with parents preparing for their child’s surgery, speak directly with individuals navigating recovery, and even travel to meet members of our community in person.

We’ve also been contacted by organizations looking to share resources and connect with the TRS community. These moments — the conversations, the connections, the shared trust — are what transformed an idea into something real and meaningful.

Moving Forward With Care

Being able to contribute to people’s recovery and transition journeys is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. TRS exists because of community, and it continues because of care, listening, and lived experience.

We’re grateful to be part of this journey and remain committed to supporting recovery in ways that feel thoughtful, dignified, and human.

With appreciation,

Trans Recovery Supply
