The Transverse (Via Trans Pride VC) provides support groups for the trans and gender diverse (TGNBNCI+) community in Ventura County.
We welcome anyone from Ventura, Oxnard, Fillmore, Santa Paula, Ojai, Camarillo, Port Hueneme, Thousand Oaks, and surrounding areas to join us. Virtual attendance of the main trans peer group in Ventura is available on our Discord server.
Ventura County’s transgender support and peer chat group meets every other Sunday at Diversity Collective in Ventura. We have a great group of folks and we talk about anything and everything, from trans issues to grooming tips, from home improvement to trains, we get together, talk, hang out, and just simply enjoy being in a completely safe space where all identities are welcome and we can truly be ourselves.
Are you a little shy and want to bring a cis friend or significant other? As long as they’re with you and they are respectful, all are welcome.
Wanna try out a new name, or pronouns? Need to talk through some things regarding coming out? Need a place where you can finally dress up as YOU? The Trans Peer Group is the perfect safe space for all of that and more.
This group also comes together to help plan important transgender events in the area including Transgender Day of Remembrance and Transgender Day of Visibility.
Please email us to join.
We have a great group available to offer support and peer connection for people who's partner is transgender. Ventura County’s Transgender Partners Group meets every other Sunday at Diversity Collective in Ventura. Hosted by Cailey, this group provides partners a space to talk about their experience, and the feelings, and concerns that go along with navigating a relationship with a transgender partner. Transition doesn't just affect the person transitioning. The journey is yours to take together, but it's important to have people who understand your experience to help with some of the tough questions to ensure that you have the tools you need to support your partner while ensuring you stay supported and healthy.
Please email us to join.
Out & About is Ventura County’s LGBT+ Adventure club. This group is all about getting out and doing fun things with people like us to have fun, make friends, and find support. We go on hikes, walks, bike rides, picnics, shopping trips, nights out, anything that strikes us. Out & About is hosted by Emily, founder of The Transverse.
