There is a lot of info out there about transgender parent and child relationships, but there’s shocking little about how a transitioning partner can impact romantic and/or intimate relationships. This two-part workshop is for trans and gender diverse people and/or those who love them (trans or cis) with a lens for queering relationships in new and exciting directions while navigating a lot of change. It’s for any gender, sexual/asexual, solo/mono/poly relationship style, in or out of any relationship. While friends, family, and poly “pod-mates” are welcome to come, it will be focused on romantic attachment and sexual activity will be mentioned in Part 2. You can attend one or both at your discretion.
