Transgender Support Groups & Community Events
A supportive community of care
Everyone at Plume is committed to celebrating and uplifting the trans experience. Founded by Dr. Jerrica Kirkley, MD (she/her), a trans woman and a leading voice in gender-affirming healthcare, we remain focused on the the overall health and wellness of the transgender community. The majority of our staff is transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming, and deeply understand and appreciate the broad range of social and emotional support that can benefit our Members and our broader trans community.
Trans and nonbinary support groups
Support groups are included in every Membership, offering a space to talk through your transition, make new connections, and deepen your understanding of your identity. No matter how you identify (nonbinary, FTM, MTF, genderqueer, and more!), support groups allow you to meet others on a similar journey and explore together. Each group is guided by a trans or nonbinary facilitator from our community who is trained by our licensed therapist. Plume members can join any time and explore different topics that are relevant to you, no matter where you are in your gender journey.
Community events and education
Want to spend some time with the trans community and connect in a safe space? Plume offers events, hangouts, and other opportunities to talk and meet virtually with community members. Recent and upcoming events include things like, “Binders, Tucking, and Clothing for Trans Bodies w/ Co-Founder of UrBody, Mere (they/them)” or “Name and Gender Marker Change with Casey (they/he) & Tina (they/them) from Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund.” From makeup tips to strength training, sign up for free community events on the Events Page.
