"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive."

Since January of 2001, Trans Youth Toronto has been a drop-in for trans youth and youth exploring their gender identity. Drop-ins are usually unstructured and people arrive when they can and leave when they need to.

TYT Drop-ins are part of The Trans Programmes at The 519 Church Street Community Centre. Staff at The 519 are super friendly, non-judgmental and trans-positive.

The space is a place to get together, have some snacks, learn about resources, and share ideas and experiences with other trans and questioning youth. Sometimes we talk about trans stuff, and sometimes we just talk about whatever’s interesting.

Starting in 2007 we now have two facilitators, one trans guy and one trans girl, to make the space even more welcoming and helpful.

TYT is run by trans youth for trans youth. This is SO the place where you can be yourself, with others like yourself in a safe, secure, and warm lounge-like environment.

We sometimes show movies or have guest speakers. For a schedule of upcoming events, see our upcoming events calendar.

The group is open to anyone age 26 and under who is trans or is exploring or questioning their gender identity.

Come and spend Wednesdays with us! And remember ... you aren't alone and trans-youth rock-supreme!
