Transgender Community
See the calendar page for the most up-to-date information on what groups are meeting virtually during our building closure due to the covid-19 pandemic.
Peer support and discussion groups meet weekly and monthly at Q Center, and we also host frequent workshops and events just for trans and gender-nonconforming community members.
The following groups currently meet at Q:
GENDER QUEERY
Gender Queery is a discussion group for genderqueer people, folks outside-the-gender-binary, trans folk, and allies (i.e. everyone allied with the GLBTQQ community). All who want to participate in open and respectful dialog are welcome. Meetings have discussions on an ever-changing topic followed by informal social time and always take place on the 1st Monday of the month.

*Always the 1st Monday* 7:00-8:30pm
TRANS-FEM*
Trans-Fem* is a support, social, and resource group for transwomen, intersex, two-spirit, non-binary, questioning and other people who are looking to cultivate a more femme gender expression, presentation, and/or identity. We meet for support, fun, & discussion around what it means to be on the trans-feminine spectrum. There are no requirements for transition status or presentation to attend this group.
Trans-Fem* is currently meeting in-person at Q Center every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month from 6-8pm PT. We are also meeting every 2nd, 4th, and 5th Wednesday online using zoom. To see an up-to-date meeting schedule or for more information please visit https://transfem.group

TRANS GUYZ
Trans Guyz is a peer-led social support and discussion group that meets on the third Sunday of every month from 6 to 7:30 pm. Trans Guyz meetings are exclusively for people assigned female at birth who now identify otherwise, including people who are trans, enby/nonbinary, FTM, two spirit, Ag/aggressive, genderqueer, affirmed male, androgynous, agender, intersex, transmasculine, and questioning.
Trans Guyz facilitators respect and affirm the diversity of our community in terms of age, race, class, religion, ability, immigration status, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and where people are at with their transition. Some group members are currently questioning their gender identity and not everyone in the group chooses or is able to use hormones and surgery as part of their transition.
Google Meets offers captions, and ASL interpretation is available on request. Please let us know if there's something you need to make the space or meetings more accessible.
Meets every third Sunday from 6:00 to 7:30 pm.
We currently meet online via Google Meets. To join us, please email tranzguys@gmail.com.
