What is Gender Quest?
Gender Quest is a peer-led support group for those who are beginning transitioning
and looking to explore their gender identity and gender expression, those
who are in transition and are looking for resources/friends who have similar
experiences, and those who have transitioned and want to give back to the
trans community by sharing their experiences about the process of transition.
This group provides a safe space, supporting diversity within the community.
All people identifying within the trans/transgender/transsexual community
are welcome to attend.
What does transgender mean?
Transgender is a term (sometimes considered an umbrella term for the trans
community) for people whose gender identity, gender expression and physical
sex do not align based on society's expectations of congruity between gender
and physical sex.
What does transsexual mean?
A transsexual is someone who identifies/lives as the gender opposite to
their birth sex, and will usually seek (or desires to seek) medical intervention
(hormone replacement therapy, sex reassignment surgery, and/or any other
non reversible surgery) to align their physical sex and gender presentation
to their gender identity.
When can I join Gender Quest?
We are always open to newcomers who are encouraged to drop in. It’s
a great opportunity to meet others with similar experiences.
