Greater Philadelphia Chapter

Thinking of attending a Renaissance Greater Phila. Chapter Meeting for the first time? Come on out and DO it! When you get there, you'll see it's in a secluded area with a lot of parking available. (See photos to the right.) If you're so inclined, wait in your car and watch the front door till your heart stops pounding, but please, eventually come in. Our meetings are composed mainly of MtF crossdressers and transsexuals, with a smattering of signifigant others, spouses, support and friends, but we are open to all who seek more info about themselves, or the transgender community, or any unique shade of grey you happen to be on the gender or sexual spectrum. We do not discriminate. We are there to give you whatever you came for, or in the least, point you in a direction to explore if you are not sure what you hope to find. With that many people at a meeting, a main program of interest to the trans community, a newcomer's orientation meeting at 9, and a buffet, you gotta leave with something... even if it's only a slice of bread. Chances are you'll bring home more than that. Most of the meeting is social and we are gifted with a comfortable, safe meeting space with room to circulate and work. By day they are doctors' offices. Your first visit is free, after that we'll ask you for $10 at the door to defray the costs of rent, food, and outreach projects. If you choose to become a GPC member, that'll cost you $20 for the year, and only $5 a visit. Significant others are always free. Since we are volunteer-run, any skills you have to offer to set up a meeting or put it away, and the homework in between, are always appreciated, plus it's a good way to establish new friendships and meet the people who have been out and about for a while.

If you are a crossdresser in need of a place to change, we are open with 2 private restrooms and a men's public, from about 6:30 on. If you need to know more contact us thru the Greater Philadelphia Chapter email box. Do not despair!
