About Us

TCNE has offered social activities and support for this community since the 1970’s; we are one of the oldest transgender, nonbinary, or otherwise gender-expansive groups in the world. We organize First Event, our annual conference, along with a growing range of smaller in-person and online events, gatherings, and community-building opportunities throughout the year.
