Gender DynamiX initiated a social support group for people who are transgendered and their SOFFA's (Significant Others, Friends, Family and Allies). This group meets at least once a month and vary between social gatherings and topic discussions. Some of the activities includes: informal workshops, dvd evenings, topic discussions, bring and braai, going to restaurants together as a group, enjoying Kayla's band, beach parties, visiting the aquarium as a group and what not all. Currnetly (Aug 2006) the group has 20 members, and a few more people who are interested in joining.

One must realise, for some people it is a big step to make the decision to join a group like this. The understanding must be there that a group like this will always have a changing dynamic, as people come and go, according to their own needs.

T-junction is based in Cape Town. To find out more about the next meeting, contact liesl at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
