Single-sex shelters are often unable or unwilling to accommodate and guarantee the safety of transgender people, so Transy House became a rare place where trans women on the streets could find refuge. Unfortunately, the home became a victim of its own success, taking in more women than it could sustainably hold (and more than the couple could handle).<\/p>\n<p>The interviews with the women living in Transy House, including trans activist Sylvia Rivera, are well done and moving.
