ATTENTION ALL TRANS-MASCS!

Come join us for our very first Trans-Mascs Meet Up potluck! In celebration of the holiday’s, this will be the first of TWO holiday inspired events so you do not want to miss them!

I felt a huge loss of community when I transitioned so I created this space to where you can come to socialize and hang out with other trans-mascs!

Trans-Mascs Meet Up is a safe space where you don't have to prove you are trans enough. This space is inclusive of nonbinary, gender expansive, and other diverse trans masculine identities. You can come as you are and enjoy company with others like you!

I’m SUPER excited to share this space with you all. Come bring a dish and be with community this holiday season! You do not need to bring food to participate in this event but it’s encouraged! Sign ups are not required but highly encouraged especially if you are choosing to bring a dish.

If you know anyone who might be interested, please share this information with them! For any questions about this event, feel free to contact Nato Hand at [email protected] and don’t forget to follow the official Trans-Mascs Meet Up instagram account @transmascs_meet.vc for event reminders and updates!

Are you a man looking for community, connection, and a place to explore healthy expressions of masculinity? Join this monthly discussion, writing, and reflection space for cis and trans men. Over coffee and snacks we chat about current issues about gender, sexuality, and masculinity—annd how those things intersect with our own lives. Then we take quiet time for journaling and processing our thoughts, and finally return together to share our insights. Facilitator Adam Segal guides the conversation with an intersectional feminist lens and an eye for vulnerability and honest expression. No prior reading is required. All we ask is a willingness to be present and respectful to others!

Community members and allies are encouraged to attend.

This meeting will take place via Zoom. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link and access meeting details.
