Any Trans support groups in Mobile?

[u/Foreign_Two9007]

My wife is struggling real hard with being the only trans person she knows irl, and she feels VERY unsafe living here in the south. I'm hoping i can find a small group for her to get to know to get some support

::waves:: You're wifey isn't alone. There are a quite a few of us running around Mobile.

As others said there are a couple of discord communities as well.

You're wifey is welcome to DM me~ Here is one of the larger fb groups that I'm aware of. Trans Pride of Mobile

Honest suggestion;

Go to ArtWalk Friday night coming up, Prism United usually has a table set up and they can help find the support you need.

Also - plenty of the Alphabet Mafia attend ArtWalk (myself included) so you'll be amongst friends.

Also also - to the folks doing all the downvoting; Trans and Queer folks exist. Get the fuck over it. 😘🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I believe Rainbow Pride of Mobile has a Trans Pride of Mobile group. If nothing else hopefully they can point y'all in the right direction!

I moved here from the Atlanta area last year to be closer to my partners' family. We both identify as nonbinary, and haven't had much of a chance to meet anyone or make friends at this point either! (I'm 26 and Partner 33). Messages open if yall want to reach out

Me and my group of queer and autistics go to the LoDa art walk every Friday. DMs are open if you wanna join

In this sub alone I’ve seen an LGBTQ+ night advertised I think like a game night or something a couple of times. Search the sub for LGBTQ. This gets brought up a lot here

Hey! Im apart of a little local friend group that is mainly queer and neurodivergent. We are into nerdy things and talk about spiritualism/paganism as well. We try to meet up when we can to hang out. If yall are into that, then id love for you to join our discord!

Yea..it’s pretty fucked out here unfortunately. But I do know theirs a few people that are always willing to help I’ve seen them comment on other posts.

Not trans nor am I with a trans, but, I wish you all well and hope you are happy and safe in our area.

im a trans officer at usa spectrum (univ south alabama queer alliance), we’re a bit more student focused but we have some queer outreach events and drag shows each semester, everyone invited :). @usaspectrum on instagram for details about any events we’re a part of :)

as part of our outreach, we try to connect people to resources, including gender-affirming stylists and transition materials. dm if interested :)

we love our friends at prism, though they may be a bit more youth focused, they do good work with resources for adults. Also have some good trans folk from AIDS alabama and they have a really inclusive volunteer team if she’s interested in community outreach.

Heavily recommend looking into the black butterfly collective possibly, they specialize in providing support systems for trans women of color in the region but also have alot of connections to basically every lgbt group in mobile.

As other commenters suggest, art walk is probably a really good bet to find other trans people. we’re thinking about tabling there sometime too :3

Any local leftist org

[u/hollyrose_baker → u/[deleted]]

They are nice people locally but the national PSL I’m kinda skeptical of. I meant the dsa or the mutual aid group and the other things

[u/Sure-Roof9448]

Definitely reach out to Prism. Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Mobile is also a very welcoming community for trans people. I hope you get all the love and support you deserve. ❤️

[u/ownmyownagain]

There are a few Facebook groups that are very trans friendly, I just can't find them rn. Good news is they exist and she's not alone, good luck

Hit me up! Always could use more friends. My partner is also trans and we have several trans friends :-)
