Group Guidelines
WELCOME: All are welcome, wherever they may be along the transgender spectrum.
RESPECT: Respect everyone in the group, even when they express opinions or reflect thoughts or feelings with which you do not agree. It’s not okay to attack others, nor tell them what you think they should say or do; however, everyone has the right to disagree respectfully when it is their turn to speak.
ACTIVE LISTENING: Listen when people are talking; do not interrupt and avoid side conversations. Remember that you would want the same respect from others when you are talking.
USE “I” STATEMENTS: Speak from your own experiences; don’t make generalizations nor attempt to speak for others or attempt to interpret what you think they are saying without their permission.
CONFIDENTIALITY: What is said here needs to stay here. Be conscious of confidentiality when greeting other group members in public. Find out in advance if someone is open to being greeted outside of the group.
RESPECT PERSONAL SPACE: Be aware of others’ physical and emotional boundaries. Some feel comfortable with physical and emotional closeness, while others need more space.
RIGHT TO SPEAK OR TO PASS: Sharing is encouraged, but so is respect for each other’s right to be silent. Remember to make as much room as possible for all who wish to speak by not monopolizing the conversation.
WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR GROUP: Facilitators and group members are empowered to maintain the group guidelines, so let’s do the best we can to create a friendly and supportive group environment.
