Contact LGBT Resource Center for meeting locations.Transitions is Northern Illinois University’s group for transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, and other gender non-conforming individuals. The focus of this group is to promote directed and round table discussion of topics related to gender identity, as well as to have a place to socialize with other trans individuals in the Northern Illinois University community. The meetings will have a variety of formats including: presentations, group discussion, movie and board game nights, as well as more public social activities (such as bowling or going out for coffee).
This group is not intended to be a mental or emotional support group, and is not supervised or advised by any individual with psychological or medical training. The primary focus of this group is a combination of socializing and community building, as well as dispersing knowledge and promoting discussion. The support offered by this group is primarily in the form of having a space for trans spectrum individuals to spend time with and interact with other trans spectrum individuals.
