FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Someone I care about is trans/questioning identity, how can I support them?
- We highly encourage looking at the Trans Health SA website, and the Trans Hub website. Both have a wealth of information and provide links to factual resources that are local and Australian focused. What is this page for?
- This page is a place for the transfemme SA community group to publicly share what we're doing, that includes upcoming events & opportunities for the community. Who is transfemme SA for?
- Transfemme SA is for anyone living in or about to move to South Australia who's gender diverse and has transitioned "towards" femininity, whether they're nonbinary, an intersex or transgender woman, or anything else. We figure you know if the label fits & the community is right for you better than we ever could! (but if you're really not sure, feel free to chuck us a message!)

Where and when are your events?
- Our events are 3 hours long and happen every 2nd week! Events are hosted at the community room at the Hyde St practice for ShineSA. There is a toilet available if you wish to change into more affirming clothing and may feel more comfortable as this is a transfemme only space. Both the space and the toilet are wheelchair accessible, please just send a facebook message via the page if wheelchair access to the building is required. What are your events typically like?
- The events are usually a mix of structured activities and free time where people usually chat. You may abstain from any activities if you feel more comfortable doing so and nothing is mandatory. We also have another side room available to be used as a quiet space if anything becomes too overwhelming for people or if anyone needs just to collect their thoughts, and we never judge people for using it. There is tap water available and usually some snacks, however do not come expecting a meal.
