Having understood the lack of information and resources for FTM folks back then, Rafa helped to fill in the gaps for transgender folks to improve their lives. He co-founded Bissu in 2017 as a community building group to empower the LGBT minority in Singapore, and has since started organising FTM workshops, gatherings and events to bring the community together, providing the much needed information, resources and safe space. Together with Coen, Rafa co-founded Transbefriender in 2019. He is also a volunteer with The T Project.
