Anime streaming giant Funimation, along with subsidiary Crunchyroll, combined on an announcement over the weekend that they would honor Transgender Awareness Week and stand “in solidarity with the trans community who make anime and its fandom even more incredible” by donating to nonprofits that work to support trans people around the world.
The nonprofit organizations It Gets Better Project and TransCanWork, recipients of the donation of an unspecified amount, are established nonprofits that work to help trans community members. It Gets Better was founded by U.S. journalist Dan Savage and his husband Terry Miller in 2010 to combat suicide among queer teens as a result of bullying. TransCanWork was founded by Michaela Ivri Mendelsohn and offers professional resources for trans people and promotes workplace inclusion.
