About Us

red+freckles is a UK-based media and publishing enterprise dedicated to serving the transgender and allied communities. Our transgender co-founders, Phoebe and Rachel, have extensive experience in technical, business, and international publishing, and are on a mission to inform, connect, and uplift.

We are currently working on a few related projects including:

Educational content 

Creating authoritative and comprehensive resources on transitioning, covering various aspects of the journey. Our flagship project, "How To Transition: The Essential Guide to Becoming You," is a constantly updated book that offers a blend of medical insight, personal narratives, and practical advice.

Technology

We have developed an innovative LiveGuide™ technology to ensure our print and electronic publications always contain the most up-to-date information, reflecting the rapidly evolving nature of transgender healthcare, legal rights, and surgical advancements.

Podcasting

Our bi-weekly show, The Joy Tuck Club, celebrates the diversity and beauty of transgender identities and expressions. We blend wit and wisdom, news and views, while tackling serious subjects, interview transpirations, and providing helpful insights and advice on transitioning.

Online resources

We maintain www.howtotransition.com (coming soon) as a companion website to our book, offering additional support and information to our community.

TransCare marketplace

We're establishing an online and print marketplace to connect the transgender community with relevant care providers and services.

At red+freckles, we draw upon our personal experiences and extensive research to create content that truly resonates with our community. Our goal is to be the trusted source of information and support for anyone questioning, starting, or continuing their transition journey, as well as for allies, partners, and parents.

Join us as we work to empower individuals to become their authentic selves and foster a more informed, connected, and uplifted transgender community.
