Social & Support Groups
in:
Canada
Support
groups exist for the purpose of helping transgender persons &
crossdressers get to know themselves and others, and to understand that
these
feelings and desires you have are normal and healthy.
Support groups allow you (and your significant other) to interact with
other
people who share basically the same feelings & desires that you
have.
In most cases, you can attend these support group' meetings either
cross-dressed or in your regular mode.
Trust me, nobody will laugh at you or criticize you if your makeup or
whatever is not "perfect". :-)
Your first
time out while crossdressed you may feel very nervous, and that's
perfectly normal. We have all been there ourselves.
You really have NOTHING to fear or be ashamed of,
and joining
a support group will certainly help you in many ways.
Let these support groups help you in your wonderful journey.

a Map to the support group addresses.
Check Weather Forecast before you
go to support group meetings.
