 Trans-Cendence International  

Multiple meeting times that are virtual

A network of peer support groups for transgender, non-binary, and gender questioning people and their significant others, friends, family, and allies (SOFFAs). Attendees can expect to meet both as one big group, and in separate break-off groups for trans/nonbinary people and significant others/family/friends/allies (or other categories as applicable per meeting). This allows people to share more freely and to talk about issues specific to their subgroup. Each break-off will have a facilitator which matches the makeup of the group.
