By trans+ folks,
For trans+ folks.

Trans+ workshops
skillshares, presentations, yoga/
physical wellness, info-sharing, intergenerational conversations, counseling spaces, and advocacy relating to trans+ communities
and our needs
Trans+ performers
musicians, drag performers, comics, dancers, performance artists who identify as trans+
Trans+ resource sharing
clothing swaps, free binding / tucking supplies, health and wellness items, trans+ library & educational resources, survival essentials, etc.
Trans+ social connection
trans+ folks need safe spaces to connect with other folks with shared identities and experiences- especially trans+ youth in this moment of increased discrimination and infringement upon self-expression. Representation matters! And seeing trans+ folks of all ages in their beauty and expansiveness is so important for youth- and all people- to feel as though they belong and are deserving of care, community, and safety.
