I just recently came to terms with my gender identity and was wondering if there were any support groups in Houston. I'm sure there are, but I don't know enough to say where they are, so any help would be appreciated.
My gender therapist says that Houston is a pretty LGBTQ friendly city and we do have a district locally famous for LGBTQ people, so it makes sense that the groups for trans people in Houston are there, but again I don't know for sure or what to expect.
Hugs to all!!!

I lived in Houston from 2009 - 2016. I have a lot of facebook friends in the trans community who are still in the area.
Last I was there, there were a couple of support groups. The first one was Monday evenings (around 7:00pm). It was at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church right in the Montrose neighborhood at 2515 Waugh. This tends to be more of an older crowd.
The second one is on Wednesday nights around the same time, 7:00pm. It's at the Montrose Center at 401 Branard St. The crowd there tends to be younger and hipper, but there can be more drama from the people in this group.
I'm confident there are other social groups in the area, I've just lost touch with a lot of them. If you PM me your facebook profile, I'll be happy to introduce you to some local resources.

Tarajo thanks I'm not the OP but have been commuting to Houston a lot lately and might just perform a cameo appearance if time permits!

Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I haven't been very active on the forums lately. I don't have a social media account right now.
I figured the Montrose area would have some support groups, but I never knew when or where to go. If I went I wouldn't be able to go very often though. Montrose is quite a long drive from my side of town. Still, once in a while I'd like to check the groups out.
