There aren’t a lot of organizations that truly have a global focus when it comes to transgender-led organizations who are working on HIV and AIDS. So I think partnerships are really important, in particular, partnerships among trans organizations. Something that I've been really pleased with, partnering with GATE, is that we have been able to leverage resources, the limited resources that each of our organizations brings to the table, and we've been able to accomplish more with those limited resources than we would be able to accomplish by ourselves, supporting one another in the process.
