Significant Other Chat – Led by Darlene G and Andrea Z
Friday, January 16th, 2-3:30pm
Be prepared to laugh, rejoice, and ponder as the group shares and discusses the trials, tribulations and celebrations of being the partner of a transgender person. This discussion group will be an open forum to learn from each other, share stories and skills, ask questions, and discuss how we maintain dignity and cope with the entire transgender "spectrum." Whether you are dealing with a part time cross-dresser, or a fully transitioned person, we can find common ground. Can we appreciate the concerns, courage and strength of our transgender partners in our complex, challenging and shared journey? Significant others of all trans-people welcome.
