Trans Only Meetings

Every 1st Wednesday of the month, 6:00-7:30pm

Room 1 of the Charles A. Dana Health Education Center,
Maine Medical Center Campus, Portland, ME.

This is a peer-to-peer support group for trans identified and questioning people. We welcome everyone, at all phases of gender transition, to come to these meetings. For the comfort and safety of those who attend this group, we ask that it be a trans only space.

Allies Only Meetings

Every 1st Wednesday of the month, 6:00-7:30pm

Room 2 of the Charles A. Dana Health Education Center,
Maine Medical Center Campus

This meeting is held at the same time as the Trans Only Meeting, but in room 2. It is a group for the significant cisgender (not transgender) allies of trans people, such as partners, family, and friends. This group serves as a place of support where allies can learn how to be more supportive of the trans person (or people!) in their lives.

Trans and Significant Allies

Every 3rd Wednesday of the month, 6:00-7:30pm

Room 1 of the Charles A. Dana Health Education Center,
Maine Medical Center Campus

This is a place for trans people and their allies to learn about each other's challenges and triumphs, and receive support. Please note that this meeting is exclusive to trans people and those whom they choose to bring with them. It is not an open forum to learn more about gender diversity. If you or your school/business/or group would like information or training, please send an email to mtn@mainetransnet.org.

Nonbinary/Genderqueer Meetings

Every 3rd Monday of the Month, 7:00-8:30pm

Woodbury Campus Center, University of Southern Maine, Portland, ME 04101.

At last! Meetings that are specifically for anyone who identifies as non-binary, gender nonconforming, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, or any gender identity that does not fit neatly into cisnormative binary gender.
