Croydon Transgender Support
2nd Saturday every month
Trans Day of Remembrance
The Trans Day of Remembrance is celebrated around the 20th of November every year. Last year in Croydon we celebrated it on Saturday the 19th - see the new TDOR website for more details.
LGBT History Month
Croydon Trans Group joined with other LGBT groups in Croydon to celebrate LGBT History Month (February 2011). The display in Croydon Library included a panel dedicated to the group - see the Croydon LGBT History Month page. And we've now got a web page celebrating the history of Croydon Trans Group.
Roberta Cowell
See our "Roberta Cowell" page for information on Croydon-born Roberta Cowell, the UK’s first post-op trans person and fighter pilot, whom we celebrated as part of LGBT History Month 2010.
Talking about trans people
Would you like to know more about the lives of transgendered people? A member of Croydon Trans Group arranges talks to community groups about trans people, our lives and experiences. Contact us for more details.
Social and Support for TV TS People
Every month on the second Saturday we hold a monthly get-together in a local pub from 8 pm to provide support in a safe environment for Transsexuals, Cross dressers, Intersex or however you choose to identify yourself. If you are transgendered in some way, whether you are Female to Male or Male to Female, we are here to help you.
Anyone is welcome, particularly new people, and it would be nice to
see a few more faces from the past again as well. We're a small but
very friendly and relaxed bunch, like a little family really, and new
people particularly are always made to feel really welcome.
We're currently trying out some new venues: contact us on one of the
phone numbers below or by e-mail and we'll tell you where the next
meeting will be.
If you have not been to a TG get-together before, and perhaps feel a little nervous, you are welcome to come along dressed as whichever gender you are more comfortable as for the first time if you prefer. Partners, particularly, as well as friends and family members or genuine observers who have a specific reason for wanting to attend, are always very welcome. However this is not a pickup joint, so please no admirers.
If you want to know more information or you would like to come along and meet us you can either drop us an e-mail at trans@lgbtcroydon.org.uk or phone us on 07801 414887, 07941 347378, or 07952 812051.
Hope to see lots of you there!
