BeingME
BeingME is a support, and peer discussion group that confronts issues important to MTFs as well as other transgender persons and/or their loved ones, while helping them to learn about and understand themselves. Examples of discussions we have engaged in have centered around our feelings of loss, victories, guilt, fear and societal acceptance or denial of us. While BeingME is not a therapy group, we attempt to deal with issues concerning the inner development of the person, allowing and encouraging self exploration during the transition journey. BeingME is open to all MTFs as well as all other transgender persons, their family members, significant others and loved ones. If you or someone you know would like to attend, we meet on the 1st & 3rd Friday of every month from 7:30 to 9:30 P.M. There is no charge for attending, however we do ask for a small voluntary contribution from those who can afford it.
