Bloom is excited for the newest addition to our Speed Dating events. This event centers the TGI/ENBY+ & gender expansive community! Come join us to make new connections of all kinds. This event is connected to the TGNC community. Whether you have identified as trans your whole life, you're just starting to explore the potential expanses of your gender, or you are an ally of the TGNC community, you are welcome here.
At Bloom we are all about facilitating folks getting to know each other and finding the best connection for everyone involved. This event is created specifically to create more safer spaces for the TGI/ENBY+ & gender expansive community to be able to comfortably get to connect with others. Bloom is a space for people to explore the edges of their spectrums and we are so excited to create more spaces for people who are interested in doing that to come together in community.
It is important to experience not being centered because this gives us more opportunities to have more clarity on what the TGI/ENBY+ & gender expansive community experiences on a daily basis by not being centered. Some people are not used to the centering alignment changing and when it does that can feel weird, that’s okay. At this event we are excited to talk about all kinds of different experiences and we may even have a few questions about it ;)
Join us for our pre-event forum. Every Speed TGNC Dating/Friending event we discuss a topic from 7:00-7:30 this creates space for TGNC folks to actively talk about how we would like our lives to be better.

Transcendence is one of the few organizations in the bay area that fully reviews aggression in the form of discrimination and oppression. We take reports from the sex positive scene anywhere in the United States. Please ask us for help if you feel like somebody in the sex positive or kinky scene is being racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, ableist, or hostile. Our lives, our stories, our joy are valuable and worthy of support.
