Trans Mascs Meet Up

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!
