We are a community for transgender adults (age 18 and up) living in and around Victoria and lower Vancouver Island. Our purpose is to connect trans folks to each other by providing an online space (or spaces) to facilitate meetups, events, and discussion.
We are not affiliated with any external organization; we are simply some trans folks who decided to start a social group, which grew far beyond what we expected.
Currently, we run a Discord server and a (much-less used) IRC server. We may expand in the future, or migrate to self-hosted services, but we wish to remain as accessible as possible. This website will persist through any changes, as long as we're around to maintain it. Feel free to share the link with your friends!

* You won't have access to the full Discord server immediately. This is to prevent bad actors from joining, as our link is publicly available from this site. Don't worry, all we need is to make sure you're human and not intent on screwing with the good folks of the server.
hikes • board game nights • TTRPG groups and tabletop wargaming • movie nights • parties and potlucks • information on local demonstrations and activism • community mutual aid
This community started with the expectation of being very small in scope. We didn't expect it to be used by anyone except our friends, and friends of friends. As such, we decided early on that we didn't want to deal with having to implement the more strict moderation that would be necessary if we allowed minors. Since then, we've gained over 200 members and become a fairly significant community hub, and we do credit some of our success to our loose moderation and ability to trust in our users. However, we're still far from the be-all-end-all of trans spaces in this area.
While we do believe that mixed-age spaces are important, and that trans youth in particular need community, facilitating that is currently beyond our scope. If you do run a space like that, feel free to get in contact with us! We'd be happy to put a link up here.
