About Gender Affirming Intimacy

Gender dysphoria is when someone has an emotional or physical feeling that feels misaligned with their gender identity. Gender Affirming Intimacy is a workshop geared towards helping ourselves, partners, or other loved ones experience the opposite of dysphoria, gender euphoria!

We'll explore how positive, gender-affirming physical, emotional, & mental intimacy can make ourselves or others feel more aligned with their beautiful, authentic selves.

We'll achieve this by covering:

• Learning terminology around Trans bodies
• Identification of the multiple forms of intimacy
• Creating euphoria through affirming language
• Adapting to different forms of sexual & non-sexual touch
• Finally, towards the end of this class, we will help you develop your own “Gender Affirming Profile” or navigate helping a trans partner create their own Gender Affirming Profile!
• Gender non-conforming people may also benefit from pieces of this to create their own unique Gender Affirming Profile. People who are not familiar with trans bodies or terminology are also encouraged to attend.

We are here to educate without stigma! Please note this class is GREAT for partners of trans people & trans people alike! This is the question you get to ask questions & learn without judgment!
