• Gender Discussion Group 

(currently via zoom) 2nd Monday of the month 8pm-9:30pm 

An open and welcoming environment for all people of the gender spectrum, including anyone who is unsure of or is questioning their gender. Group meetings are held in the LGBT Center of Raleigh on the second Monday of the month at 8 pm. All transgender, gender variant, and gender non-conforming people are invited. As this is a closed group wherein people discuss deeply personal issues, we ask that people who do not identify as transgender not attend unless they are coming as support for someone already in attendance or for the sake of discussing their own lived issues with gender.
