TMAC MEETINGS & EVENTS
For more information on upcoming meetings and events, join our our email list to get a monthly email about the next month's meetings and events.
We meet in person every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Friday of every month at the Center on Halsted, though we also have other meetups and events organized through our member Discord server. ​​As a peer-led group, all meetings, discussions, and presentations are led by TMAC members.
Want to come to a TMAC meeting? Here's some things to know:
-
Our official meetings are limited to those who are AFAB (assigned female at birth) and identify as FtM, transmasculine, non binary, or are questioning their gender. Meeting participants should also be 17 or older.
-
If you do not fit the listed demographic for the group but are interested in being involved in another capacity (as an ally, for research or for educational purposes) please contact transmaschi@gmail.com. Caregivers, friends, and allies are welcome at certain outside social events, but not at the meetings themselves.
-
While TMAC is intended for people in the Chicago and Chicago-adjacent area, non-Chicagoans are fully welcome to join our Discord once they have attended an event.
-
Please do not bring alcohol, weed, or other substances to the meetings, even if they are just for you. Snacks and drinks to share are always welcome, however!
-
Meetings usually begin with going around the group with names, pronouns, and our highs/lows of the week before moving into the presentation or discussion topic.
-
Try to arrive on time, but it is okay to be late! Meetings usually run 6:30-9:00pm, but you are free to jump in or leave at any time.
