| Announcing the new Gender Construction Zone |
| |
| Are you a young trans, gender variant or questioning person looking for a community, and people to talk to who can relate to your experiences? Are you looking for a way to explore your gender identity without "out"ing yourself to your friends, family, or others in your life? Do you know someone in a situation like this? There's a new group in town - a peer support, resource sharing, community building, and discussion group to address the current lack of such a group in the Montreal anglophone community. We aim to make the Gender Construction Zone a totally confidential, inclusive and non-judgemental space. Info: tranniesatwork@gmail.com - Telyn Kusalik (Gender Construction Zone facilitator) |
