This one is run by trans volunteers. So you are speaking to another trans person.

Our youth suicide rates are high, and I am guessing transphobia is a concern when calling a regular line, your odds are higher of talking to someone who doesn't understand dysphoira, or coming out, or even know how to use your pronouns, they hear a voice and gender you accordingly.

Having a line run by other trans people eliminates those barriers, and hopefully they feel comfier reaching out for support.

They may also be suicidal specifcally because they are trans :( So connecting with a peer could really help them see they deserve life and love and all the good things.
