TransFolk of WA

We provided peer support to the transgender & gender diverse community of Western Australia along with their families through delivery of education, online peer support groups, face to face social and support meet ups, We provided free binders to community members in need as part of our binder exchange program to reduce the dysphoria suffered by trans men & non binary people.

We provided social events, and visibility to encourage education and understanding by the wider community to further improve the inclusion and treatment of the trans & gender diverse community. We consulted with business and government to improve policy and therefore treatment of the gender diverse community.

Currently TransFolk of WA have five groups that they run:

• Trans Men Group

• Trans Women Group

• Non-Binary Group

• Parent & Family Group

• T-Junior Group

Services:

• Online Facebook Groups – Our online spaces are safe and welcoming places where our members can swap important information, socialise and share experiences. We have groups for trans women, trans men, non-binary folk, youth, parents of trans people and partners of trans people. The groups are hidden and private so that being part of the group isn’t broadcast to all your Facebook friends.

• Social & Support Groups – We hold social catch ups where folks can meet other trans and gender diverse people. We have a monthly peer support group for parents/carers of trans and gender diverse people.

• Training – Our Trans101 workshop provides practical ways to be more inclusive of trans and gender diverse people. More info on our other types of training is listed here

• Events – Throughout the year we get involved with Pride and other celebrations.
