What are Sessions like?

Spots are full for the June Gender Exploration Sessions. If you would like to be notified about our next round of sessions, please fill in the interest form at the bottom of the page.

Are you ready to explore your gender and the way it connects to all the other parts of you? Wondering if labels like “trans,” “nonbinary,” or “gender-expansive” make sense of how you experience things? Well, you’re invited to this 4 week journey alongside other folks with the same questions!

We’ll be holding space for questions like

  • “Am I really trans if I don’t fit the common narratives?”

  • “What if this is all in my head?”

  • “Does questioning my gender make me a bad Christian?”

  • “Am I too old/young to figure this out?”

  • “Is this about what I like to wear, or who I am?”

Gender Exploration Sessions Dates

  • Session 1 – Thurs, June 1st – 4pm PT/7pm ET

  • Session 2 – Thurs, June 8th – 4pm PT/7pm ET

  • Session 3 – Thurs, June 15th – 4pm PT/7pm ET

  • Session 4 – Thurs, June 22nd – 4pm PT/7pm ET

We’ll be moving together as a cohort, so you’ll be seeing the same faces each time, and coming out of the experience with new friends and neighbors!

A few things to know before signing up

  • Our Gender Exploration Sessions have no specific identity requirements—if you’re exploring your gender and think you might fall outside of the “cis box,” you’re invited! We love our cisgender allies, but this is a space specifically for those of us who have often not felt safe sharing about our gender-related identities and experiences in other faith-based support groups.

  • Our groups are only open to people age 18 and up. It’s not that we don’t want you with us, teens! It’s just that there are much better groups for you over at Beloved Arise, at Affirming Youth Ministries, and at Gender Spectrum. Head on over there and check out the faith programming available!

  • Our groups are not a therapy substitute. TMC group leaders are not mental health professionals, and the purpose of this group is to build community and provide a space for sharing and support.

By filling out this form you are agreeing to abide by our TMC Community Rules, which you can find and read here. If you have any questions about the rules, feel free to email Micah Melody, TMC’s Program Coordinator, at micahmelody@transmissionministry.com.

Confidentiality Notice: TMC Groups are semi-confidential. This means we will not share anything said during groups with the broader TMC community, or with anyone outside TMC, without your permission. However, TMC leaders may share important information with others in leadership in order to best support our community. TMC does not participate in non-consensual active rescue, which means we will not call emergency services unless someone directly asks us to, or we believe there is a credible threat to a third party.
