trans rights are human rights

 In Massachusetts and elsewhere, transgender and nonbinary people experience significantly higher levels of mental and physical health issues, discrimination, homeless, and poverty than do non-LGBTQ+ individuals. Furthermore, our current government has been taking steps to isolate the 1.4 million Americans who identify as transgender or nonbinary and to end legal protections previously guaranteed under civil rights law. The South Coast LGBTQ+ Network works with area trans- and nonbinary-oriented organizations to support this marginalized group in its quest for health, happiness, and equal rights.

We dedicate this page to the memory of our beloved friend and colleague Joan M. Stratton (1951-2021).

TRANS AND NONBINARY SUPPORT GROUP IN WESTPORT, MASS.

On Wednesday afternoons, depending on COVID-19 restrictions that may be in effect, a small group meets in Westport, Mass., to talk about what it means to be trans and nonbinary in the South Coast. The group is moderated by a peer leader and a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in LGBTQ+ issues. It provides a safe and nurturing environment for individuals to discuss the challenges they face - and to celebrate their wonderfully unique place in the world.
