TRACE App

TRACE is a mobile application created to foster a brighter and more gender-affirming future for transgender and non-binary individuals. TRACE is a social media platform for transgender, nonbinary and allies that includes tracking and documenting for those in gender transition. Build your community in a safe environment. Create a profile, chat, share photos, join community Channels based on your needs and interests and build your community of supportive Allies on TRACE. With our documenting modules keep track of your HRT, blood work, and get reminders to track your changes with photo albums. Join TRACE by searching TRACE in the App store or Google Play store and download! "We have a Community Guidelines- I agree to the following TRACE community guidelines: There is no “right” way to transition: At TRACE, we celebrate the breadth and depth of our community by rejoicing in all transition journeys. We are not here to judge or place our community within defined boxes; therefore, as a member of this community, you agree to uphold these values and make TRACE a safe place for everyone in transition. Respect Pronouns & Names; Respecting a person’s name and pronouns is of the utmost importance for creating a safe and comfortable environment for all members of our community. Pronouns can be found on member profiles; however, if you cannot see them or are unsure, it’s always okay to ask, “May I ask what your pronouns are?” When joining this community, you agree to use names and pronouns correctly and respectfully. Respect Boundaries; For some, transitioning is a very public and outward experience; for others, it’s a more private and inward experience. No matter how someone chooses to share their transition, they define their boundaries for sharing and how they would like to engage in our community. Boundaries may ebb and flow over time, but in this community, respecting boundaries is critical for facilitating a safe environment. Celebrate, Don’t Hate; TRACE is defined by the collective joy we create in supporting our community. Therefore, TRACE will not tolerate judgemental or harmful commentary. Before posting, ask yourself, “will this positively impact the TRACE community?” If no, hold back; if yes, then spread positivity! As a member of the TRACE community, you agree to follow these guidelines. Inability to do so may result in suspension or termination of your account."
