This support group is a supportive and confidential space for transfemme adults (including binary trans women, nonbinary transfemmes, and folks exploring their transfemme gender identity) to connect with others who share this identity and are going through similar experiences. This group takes an intersectional, anti-oppressive group therapy approach toward building participants’ self-confidence, overcoming shame and stigma, and dismantling internalized transmisogyny. We will focus on empowering group members to support each other through challenges, celebrate moments of trans joy, and find strength in community.
