Welcome to our monthly inclusive and affirming space designed for individuals aged 18 and above who identify as transgender, non-binary gender nonconforming. Our support group is a safe space where members can come together to share experiences, struggles, triumphs, and resources in a supportive environment. We aim to foster a sense of belonging and empowerment while promoting education, advocacy, and self-care.

Meeting Format: Our meetings typically consist of facilitated discussions, educational workshops, and group activities. Members are encouraged to participate at their own comfort level, whether they wish to actively engage in discussions or simply listen and absorb support.

Topics of Discussion: Our group covers a wide range of topics relevant to the transgender and non-binary experience, including but not limited to:

• Gender identity exploration

• Coming out experiences

• Social, legal, and medical transitioning

• Mental health and self-care

Confidentiality: We prioritize confidentiality and respect within our group. What is shared within meetings stays within meetings, fostering a trusting environment where members can freely express themselves without fear of judgment or disclosure.

Accessibility: We strive to make our group accessible to all individuals regardless of their background, identity, or abilities. We welcome feedback and suggestions for improving accessibility to ensure that everyone feels welcome and included.

Guiding Principles: Our support group is guided by principles of respect, empathy, inclusivity, and empowerment. We believe in uplifting each other and creating a space where everyone's voice is heard and valued.

Halloween season is here, and we’re celebrating it!

 A VERY QUEER COSTUME CRAWL 

Wednesday, October 29

       7:00pm → Iron Flamingo (54 W Market St)

• 8:00pm → The Office (70 W Market St)

  We will probably head to another bar after The Office - totes   depends on the mood and vibe! 

Come however you like: vampire, fairy, hot mess, or just your everyday fabulous self. Costumes encouraged, but not required. The goal? Be with your people, laugh too loud, and fill Market Street with queer joy.

This one’s pay-your-own-way, but please don’t let money keep you home. We’ve got community funds set aside to cover anyone who needs it—confidential and judgment-free. Just let Bethany know, and you’re covered.

And if you’d like to help someone else raise a glass, email Bethany at bethany@cardcarryingshop.com. We’ll make sure your generosity goes straight to the community!
