GenderWork

Please note GenderWork has two types of meetings, "open" and "closed". The first Sunday of the month is a "closed" meeting, meaning only FTM-identified/questioning folks may participate. The third Sunday of the month is an "open" meeting, meaning friends, partners, and allies may attend as well!  

Summer 2008 Schedule:

8/3/2008, "closed": A lot of the socializing in the LGBT community goes on in the bar/club scene. What are some other ways to socialize outside of bars and night clubs? Discuss how to broaden your social scene at this meeting!

8/17/2008, "open": Guest speaker! Starting T is a great reason to quit smoking (and sometime quitting is a prerequisite to starting hormone therapy). Howard Brown's Bitch To Quit smoking cessation program is a great resource. Kristin Torres, MSW and Bitch To Quit Project Coordinator will be our guest speaker. We'll also have time to discuss other types of addictions and general resources.

9/7/2008, "closed": Let's talk about sex. Negotiating, having frank discussions about prosthetic/add-on options, and anything and everything that we deal with in terms of sex and being trans!

9/21/2008, "open": Transition can be stressful. What are the best techniques for stress management? Examples could include yoga, meditation, relaxation techniques, breath-work. Discuss and share what works for you!

For past meeting topics see the TOPIC ARCHIVE.
