A peer-facilitated support group for folks of all genders who are (or think they might be) sexually and/or romantically attracted to people of more than one gender or regardless of gender. This can include people who identify as bi+, non-monosexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, & other queer self-identifications.

Whether you have felt or identified this way for years, or these are new questions for you, you’re invited to share your experiences in a non-judgmental space. Delve into topics of relationships, loneliness, oppression (monosexism, bi+ phobia, and erasure), health and mental health, creating community, and more!

Trans + Loved Ones provides a space where people who have a loved one in their life who is transitioning or trans, gender diverse, etc. identified can meet and discuss the complexities and emotions involved with supporting their loved one in their transition journey. This is a safe space for both trans-identified folks and their loved ones (partners, parents, family, close friends, etc.) to share and speak about their experiences, and navigate their feelings while offering support to each other.

Note: this group is facilitated by peers, not trained counsellors or mental health professionals.

This group is intended for folks who are 18+ and currently living in BC, but exceptions can be made if one “party” in the relationship is living elsewhere. Please contact [email protected]qmunity.ca for further details or to request a link to the Zoom meeting/to be added to the Trans + Loved Ones mailing list (separate from the Transgathering mailing list).
