Envisioning the Ripple Hauxs – A Beacon for Trans Liberation in Central Florida

A Home for Wellness, Creation, and Belonging

Ripple Hauxs isn’t a distant dream—it’s being shaped, brick by brick, heartbeat by heartbeat. At the center of our vision is a physical space: a sanctuary designed to meet the real, embodied needs of our community. Imagine walking into a house that smells of sage and fresh food, where your name and pronouns are honored, where your body is safe, where your identity is celebrated, and where care is not conditional.

A place with soft couches and sacred corners for storytelling. With exercise equipment that doesn’t require you to mask your gender to feel safe. With a creative studio where trans artists can reclaim the narrative. With a gender-affirming care closet offering binders, gaffs, hormone support items, and more. Ripple Hauxs imagines a space where healing is the default, not the exception.

The Power of Ripples

The name “Ripple Hauxs” speaks to the kind of change we are building—change that starts at the center and spreads outward. Our community is the stone dropped into still water, and every act of care we make together creates a ripple. Whether it’s a ride to a hormone appointment, a hot meal at a cookout, or a late-night call to talk through fear—these moments expand far beyond their point of origin.

In this moment of political crisis and cultural reckoning, the ripples we make are not just poetic—they are vital. In a state where anti-trans laws and rhetoric are suffocating our people, these ripples of care become acts of defiance. Of survival. Of future-building.

A Movement Made of Many

Ripple Hauxs is not one person or even one organization—it’s a movement made up of every person who dares to believe that trans joy is possible, that BIPOC trans futures matter, and that Central Florida deserves a community space not rooted in assimilation or scarcity, but in liberation and abundance.

We are building a network of mutual aid, skill-sharing, wellness practices, and cultural celebration. We are nurturing leaders who know that the most radical thing we can do is love each other fiercely and show up consistently. We are raising the next generation of gender-expansive youth to know they are sacred.

We Are the Storm and the Shelter

In these unprecedented times, Ripple Hauxs is both the storm and the shelter. We are shaking the foundations of transphobic systems with our laughter, our organizing, and our unapologetic presence. And we are sheltering each other with softness, ritual, and interdependence.

We believe in a future where a trans person never has to choose between their safety and their truth. We believe in a world where community is the safety net and the springboard. We believe in the power of ripples—and we believe those ripples can shift the entire tide.

Join us. Dream with us. Build with us. Because the future belongs to the Hauxs. And the ripple has already begun.
