This is the online home of the Tranz Guys group. We are a monthly social support/discussion group in Portland, Oregon for people who were assigned female at birth but who now identify otherwise or who are questioning their gender identity.

We meet on the third Sunday of the month at the Portland Q Center. For more information on the group and our meetings, see About Tranz Guys. In order to create a safe space for all participants, our regular group meetings are open only to those who are exploring their own gender identity or who identify on the transmasculine spectrum.  For resources for partners and family of trans-identified people, see our SOFFA section.

We hope that this website will be a place where people can find general trans resources and get answers to common questions, as well as information about local events.

• Local and online trans groups and resources
• Legal & ID - Links to legal resources and info, plus how-tos and forms for changing many official documents
• Health & Medical - Lists of trans-friendly providers, links to testosterone and surgery info
• Media - Online trans videos and audiocasts, lists of books and films, and personal sites

Much of what you’ll find here is based on the excellent Resources PDX guide, as well as on personal experiences and information shared by individual members of the trans community. We hope you’ll feel free to actively contribute by giving us suggestions and feedback, sending us additional resources or information, and letting us know about events that are coming up.

This site is still under construction and there’s more to come. Check back here for updates. In the meantime, if there is something you would like to see here, or you want us to post an announcement, contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
