Are you transgender or non-binary or are you a friend or family member of someone who is and would like more information? Are you just emerging from the proverbial closet and feeling nervous or self-conscious?
Well, our goal is to provide a meaningful and enjoyable opportunity to feel comfortable with yourself and loved ones. If this is your first time, being nervous is expected and we promise to do all we can to help alleviate your anxiety. We guarantee you'll develop honest and true friendships. Our meetings are free and open to everyone.
We all have known at one point the anxiety of keeping this ‘secret.’ Share yours and let go of that toxic shame and guilt! There is a lot to digest both educationally and emotionally!
