In the wake of the election, many civil rights, reproductive health and LGBTQ organizations started seeing a flood of donations, like Planned Parenthood's influx of donations that concerned people made in Vice President Mike Pence's name. After Trump signed the Muslim ban, the donations started up again, with the ACLU receiving more than $24 million in donation in a single weekend. And now, after the Trump administration rescinded civil rights protections for transgender students, another much-needed organization is seeing a flood of monetary support. Mic reports so many people tried to donate to the Trans Lifeline after the anti-transgender action that the website crashed.

The Trans Lifeline, a crisis hotline by and for transgender people, received more than $51,000 in donations in the 36 hours following the Trump administration's action that rescinded Obama-era protections for transgender students.

The action indicates transgender students are not protected under Title IX rights, which prohibit sex-based discrimination in schools, and many courts have decided that gender identity is included in Title IX. As part of the action, states can now choose whether transgender students are allowed to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.

After the action passed, many pointed out the message it sends to transgender young people.

"When trans students are told that they cannot use public facilities, it doesn’t only block them from the toilet — it also blocks them from public life. It tells them with every sneer, every blocked door, that we do not want to see them, that they should go hide and that ultimately they do not belong. When schools become hostile environments, students cannot turn to them. Instead they are pushed out. And without an education, it makes it that much more difficult to find a job, and support themselves and survive," Janet Mock wrote for the New York Times. "That is the situation the Trump administration is creating."

By donating to the Trans Lifeline, Director of Communication André Pérez told Mic it will be able to help more transgender young people harmed by that message. It's needed. After the transgender action was signed, Mic reports the lifeline saw an increase in calls.

The Trans Lifeline can be reached at (877) 565-8860 in the U.S. and (877) 330-6366 in Canada. If you want to donate, visit here.
