A big thank you to Andrew joining Dean and The Apprentice this evening.
Andrew brings us exciting news for Melbourne, with the start up of a new support group for trans masculine identified people – and it is called The FTM Shed.
The first meeting is likely to be Sunday the 23rd of June at 3pm.
The FTM Shed is a support group for FTMs and their allies located in Melbourne, Australia. We meet to obtain mutual support and gain resilience through sharing experiences of trans* life. The idea was born out of a post to sound out the need on the Dudemag Facebook page. We think you should check out the Dudemagazine too.
If you are interested to know more then keep checking this page for more details or email the group directly: ftmshed@gmail.com
