GI's Bi-Monthly trans* youth group
Gendered Intelligence are resuming their youth group sessions for all 13–25 year old trans* people including those who are questioning their gender identity.
Tuesday evening is going to be the new week night and Saturday afternoon will be the other day. The sessions are going to be fairly relaxed and will give an opportunity for you to get to know each other and discuss things that are relevant to you.
The sessions will cover:
•How to come out to friends, family members and school and work peers
•The positives and negatives of living stealth
•Improving your mental well being
•Decision making around transitioning and negotiating different models or ways of being trans
•Considering sex and relationships
•How we can educate those around us
So if you are just looking to find out more about being trans, or are exploring your gender identity and want to find friends or others with similar experiences then GI Youth Group is the place for you.
Alternatively if you are an old timer and want to have a catch up then GI hopes to accommodate everyone with their new more informal opt in/ opt out approach to any facilitated discussions.
The meetings are held at Central School of Speech and Drama.
