Trans*Coalition in the Post-Soviet Space is a regional informational resource platform that unites trans* persons and their allies and aims to protect human rights and improve the quality of life of transgender communities in the region. Currently, the Coalition unites activists from 11 countries of the region with the intention to expand to all 15 countries. It is the first and only network by and for trans* activists in this region and has already contributed to the strengthening of the nascent trans* movement in the Former Soviet Union countries and to increasing visibility of trans* issues with an online presence via website, blog posts, and social media. Thanks to the effort of Trans*Coalition, many trans* persons have become more active in their own countries as well as in the regional activism and have significantly developed their skills and leadership capacity. Importantly, the coalition has helped introduce a new political trans* discourse in the region that is rights-based, feminist, and grounded in the principle of depathologization as opposed to the prior dominant discourse that was highly medicalized.
