Clinically diagnosed, self-realised, and questioning are most welcome.

All members of marginalised genders, including non-binary individuals, male-to-female trans individuals, and female-to-male trans individuals, are welcome.

Disclosure of gender identity is welcome but never mandatory.

Respect
We share our own experiences as we understand them and respect others' understanding of their own experiences. Listening sincerely, we "take what we like and leave the rest".

Disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated and dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
