Boston Area Trans Support


We are a peer-run support group for trans and non-binary adults in the Boston area. Working together for over twelve years, we strive to create an inclusive community, provide peer support, and ensure a safe space for trans and non-binary people.

About Us

Who We Are

BATS is a support group for trans and non-binary people who are 18+ and living in and around the Boston area. Join us if you are looking for support in understanding your gender identity, help with coming out or transitioning, emotional support, a sense of community, a place where you belong, or just to meet relatable people. Anybody who identifies as trans (transgender, transsexual, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, bigender, pangender, intersex, etc…) or who is sincerely questioning their gender identity is welcome.

Meetings

Our meetings are focused on receiving support, validation, feedback and problem solving. We emphasize group participation and mutual respect; a volunteer facilitator and co-facilitator, and individual check-ins help ensure that no one dictates the flow of conversation and everyone has a chance to express themselves.

We meet in a room with plenty of chairs, air conditioning, heating, fans, wifi, and easy access to bathrooms

When and Where

We meet weekly in Cambridge and Dorchester. We do not publish our meeting location and time online in order to protect the safety and privacy of our members. Details will be provided after you join us.

Our location in Cambridge is wheelchair accessible through an alternative entrance and has a wheelchair accessible bathroom. If you need wheelchair access please let us know when submitting the join form so we can arrange access to the alternate entrance. Our location in Dorchester is wheelchair accessible through our primary entrance.

If you have any other accommodation needs please let us know as we are working on how to implement other accessibility needs.
