Welcome!

The DC Area Transmasculine Society is a peer-facilitated social and support group in the DC area for anyone on the transmasculine spectrum. We are persons born or assigned female at birth and feel that this is an inaccurate or incomplete description of who we are today.

DCATS also welcomes significant others, friends, families and allies (SOFFAS)


News

DCATS is running a mentorship program to pair people newer to identifying as trans/genderqueer with more experienced folks. Open to all kinds of folks - transitioning or not. Drop a line to webmaster@dcats.org with a bit about yourself and whether you want to be a mentor or mentee.

Thanks to everyone who filled out our survey! We got a lot of great information, and hope to release a summary of the findings on the list-serve soon.


Are you a DC resident and a smoker?

DCATS has partnered with the Maunter Project for SmokeLess DC, aimed at reducing tobacco use in the LGBT community. In addition to offering small groups to support people in the process of quitting, the program also offers FREE smoking cessation aids (nicotine lozenges and patches). Please visit Mautner's website, or email me if you would like more information. If you want to get started right away, you can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

Who we are

DCATS is a diverse group. The term "transmasculine" is core to DCATS' spirit of inclusiveness. We acknowledge, welcome, and celebrate the wide range of transgender identities that our members have. Our members include:

We run a monthly support group on the second Sunday of every month, in addition to our yahoo! list-serve and social events throughout the year.
