Trans Guyz Meetings are exclusively for people assigned female at birth or socialized female who now identify otherwise, including people who are trans, enby/nonbinary, FTM, two spirit, Ag/aggressive, genderqueer, affirmed male, androgynous, agender, intersex, transmasculine, genderfluid, and questioning.

To offer support and connection to as many members as possible, we currently meet in two formats.

Email to register/sign-up at transguyz@gmail.com

Trans Guyz facilitators respect and affirm the diversity of our community in terms of age, race, class, religion, ability, immigration status, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and where people are at with their transition. Some group members are currently questioning their gender identity and not everyone in the group chooses or is able to use hormones and surgery as part of their transition.

The Marie Equi Center is accessible by mobility device, has one ADA parking space, and has gender-neutral bathrooms. Masks are required in the building. Our in-person meeting space has armless chairs and air purifiers.

Come by on the third Monday of every month for our aromantic and asexual peer support group! We welcome anyone who identifies on the a-spectrum and anyone who is questioning. This includes demi- and grey-oriented folks and anyone who wants to learn more about how they might fit on the a-spectrum.

Our peer support group is a space for us to talk about our shared experiences, process struggles, and support each other. If you’re still trying to figure out your identity, it’s a great environment to hear from other aro/ace folks and talk to people going through similar things as you.

*This is a group facilitated by a community member and is not led by a certified mental health professional.

📣 New Programming Alert! 📣

Please join us for a 55 and better peer-led affinity group, focused on mutual support.  We will share our experiences, provide encouragement, and learn from and listen to each other while building our queer community.  

We will meet the 3rd Thursdays from 2:30 - 4:00 PM at the Elsie Stuhr Center, as part of the Center’s Health and Wellness Thursdays.

This month's WQRC Parent and Caregiver Support Group will be held in person and online via Zoom from 6:30-7:30 pm, with an optional social hour from 7:30-8:00 pm. This is a facilitated peer support group for adult family members (parents, caregivers, aunts/uncles, siblings, etc.) of youth that either identify as queer or are questioning their gender or sexuality. 

Note: Participation in these peer support groups is not therapy or a substitute for therapy. Facilitators are not trained mental health professionals. Participants need to be at least 18 years old. All groups through the Westside Queer Resource Center are facilitated by Queer+ individuals.

We plan to meet every 3rd Thursday of each month (unless a holiday or event conflicts). Our location may vary, so be sure to check our RSVP form each month for the address. The Zoom meeting link will only be shared with participants who have RSVP’d to ensure the safety of all attendees.

You are invited to join us in person every fourth Friday!

An affinity group is like a support group, but it's not mental health therapy--just like-minded folks gathering in solidarity and support in a space where it's safe to vent, problem solve, commiserate, comfort, empathize, and hold space for one another. Affinity groups cultivate an environment where you can feel heard and understood. (Ages 18+)

*This is a group facilitated by a community member and is not led by a certified mental health professional.
