Edinburgh Trans Women Support Group

Support Group Information

Welcome to the home page of the Edinburgh Trans Women Support Group. We launched in 2008 to provide support and social contact for male to female transsexual women.

The group is aimed at transsexual women at any stage of transition or women who are transgendered and live as women full-time or part-time. We welcome new people to join the group.

We are based in Edinburgh, Scotland but open to trans women wishing to travel to us. We meet once a month for a support group meeting with general chat and discussions relating to transition or life living as a woman. There are also social events at LGBT and mainstream venues. We look forward to seeing you at our meeting or social events and feel free to contact us if you want more information.
