Ask Me Anything: I’m Trans in Colorado

OBC’s new office (3340 Mitchell Ln, Boulder 80301)

Boulder County Gender Support groups are open to anyone who has a gender expansive identity including transgender, genderqueer, gender fluid, agender, non-binary, and intersex people. We also support people who are questioning their identity and people who don't want to label themselves yet (or at all).

Attending the group is free, and we have trained, dedicated transgender facilitators. All we ask is that you fill out a quick survey when you first come and follow our Support Group Rules.

Name & Gender Change Clinic    
Saturday, March 26, 3-4:30 pm
Via Zoom (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86419406174)

This workshop will be led by an attorney who can answer your questions and guide you through the process. Information for low-cost/pro bono attorney referrals and microgrants is also available. This workshop is primarily for adult name changes, but we can discuss name changes for minors, if needed.
