About Us
The Trans Community of New England (TCNE) is a New England support organization based in the Greater Boston area, for the transgender, nonbinary, or otherwise gender-expansive community.
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, and one of very few with a permanent location. We sponsor the First Event Conference each January/February and share other opportunities for connecting the community throughout the year.
