We come together to help each other grow in self-acceptance with an emphasis on successfully dealing with gender identity issues. If you or a loved one is facing such an issue in your life, you are welcome to attend a newcomer's meeting on the third Saturday of every month or come to any of our social meetings. Some of our meetings are purely for support, some are social, and some designed for both socialization and support. Social meetings vary from dinners on the town, to theater outings, to picnics in the park, to parties, to trips to other cities. There is at least one social meeting every month; and often there are many more. If there is a social event that is not planned and you would like to make happen, please speak up at the next meeting or suggest it with the Steering Committee. Make your voice be known. Support meetings begin with the members gathering into a group which is moderated by a professional facilitator. During this time, members can share their fears, problems, hopes and aspirations with the group and seek advice, feedback or simple understanding in return. After the support meeting, there is a discussion or a presentation by a helping professional, presentation specialist (folks who help transgendered persons with their physical appearance) and/or by group members themselves. After the meeting, the group gathers at a supportive restaurant, St. Charles Deli, to talk and get to know new and current members. Whether you are seeking self-acceptance as a crossdresser, trying to find the correct spot on the transgender spectrum in which to live full time, working toward a complete transition from one gender to another, or if you made such a transition many years ago there are members of A.G.E. who have been down the road you may be choosing or who are at a similar crossroads. It is this sharing of experiences that many members of A.G.E. find so comforting and helpful. Please come join our welcoming, caring community of transgendered and transsexual people in Atlanta. |
