Transgender Support and Community Group

Twin Cities Trans is a vibrant, volunteer-run community and support group dedicated to bringing together transgender and questioning individuals in the Twin Cities area. We create a warm and welcoming environment where members can connect, share experiences, and find emotional support. Our goal is to foster lasting friendships and empower individuals on their journeys of self-discovery and acceptance. Join us for meetings, events, and discussions that celebrate diversity and promote understanding, as we cultivate a safe space for all. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community.

Who we are

Initially begun as a therapist-led support group, Twin Cities Trans has branched off to better support its members as a community-driven effort.

Twin Cities Trans also works to maintain resource lists and other informational tools for community members and therapists.

Our Meetings

Twin Cities Trans proudly hosts a variety of engaging meetings and events to help invite everyone to the table and foster a sense of belonging. Join us at one of our welcoming in-person support groups, connect with others in our vibrant online Discord community, or participate in one of our enjoyable social gatherings where friendships can blossom and grow.

  • Twin Cities Trans meets in-person once every other week to provide support to members of our community. Meetings begin with a brief introduction and then open to discussion for the group. While the meetings often focus on topics related to being transgender, they range from celebrations, questions, daily stressors, and everything in between.

    To find out when the next meeting is, please contact us using the button below or by emailing Olivia Sheppard at oliviashpprd@gmail.com.

  • The Twin Cities Trans discord community is the best way to stay up-to-date with the organization and to keep in touch with the people you’ll meet at the in-person events. It is also where we hold our online support group meetings every other week.

  • These events serve as the best way to meet other members in a less-formal structure. Twin Cities Trans hosts social outings such as game nights, picnics, and other activities.
