FORGE provides local social support, education and resources for those interested in transgender+/SOFFA issues. FORGE meetings provide a friendly facilitated setting for transgender+ individuals and SOFFAs to network, share their personal experiences and stories, become more informed, and to gather resources.

FORGE support group meetings are open to ALL people interested in transgender+/SOFFA issues. We support and honor the plethora of ways there are to be transgender/FTM+/MTF+/masculine/feminine/butch/femme/trans+ and the wide variety of people who fall under the broad category of SOFFA. FORGE tries to offer a little something for everyone. Join us if you are new to gender issues and want a supportive place to explore. If you are well-versed in trans issues, you are invited to share your experiences and help elevate discussion to a more complex, philosophical level. Partners, allies, friends and professionals are always encouraged to attend on their own, or with a trans loved one (or client).

6:00 - 10:00pm

Join us between 6:00 and 6:45pm if you are new to the exploration of gender, new to the Midwest, early in gender transition or have a pressing issue that won't fit into this month's topic (or just want to hang out with others and listen). In this smaller meeting, we can better address individual concerns and help connect people to appropriate resources.

The "regular"/topic portion of the meeting will begin at 7:00pm. Following brief introductions and an icebreaker question, we will delve into that evening's topic. Discussion is free-flowing and loosely facilitated. Attendees can participate as much or as little as they feel comfortable
