Trans Social Club: Friday Group (Chainmail Workshop!)

Note: this event is for transgender, gender diverse, and non-binary people.

Get ready to connect, laugh, and just be yourself at Transgender Victoria's Trans Social Club! Every second Friday evening, this is your dedicated space to hang out with other transgender, gender diverse and non-binary people.

Our TGV team will be there to kick off different activities, spark conversations, and help you make some awesome new friends. Each week is a choose-your-own adventure, with plenty of time for you to chat, play board games, or get creative with arts and crafts.
