Groups typically meet reliably, even during Saints games and holidays. The groups are open to all people who self-identify as trans or nonbinary, regardless of where they fall on the feminine-to-masculine spectrum or where they are in the transition process. Significant others, family, and friends of trans and nonbinary people are also welcome to participate.
If you’re a student wishing to attend our meetings for educational purposes, we are sorry to let you know that this is not the right space for that. For the safety and security of our members, we don’t allow visitors to observe. For questions, contact us at info@latransadvocates.org.

This is an online support group for transgender and gender-nonconforming people in the state of Louisiana. This is for people who can’t make it out to a physical support group, for any reasons, or for people who need another support group to attend per month.
Alternative Online Support
For those without transportation or who otherwise cannot make it to a social support meeting, social support is available in our online group. To ensure the safety of our members, folks will be required to complete a membership agreement to join.
Alternatively, the Southern Transmasculine Alliance has a Facebook Group where transmasculine folks can connect about their experiences virtually.
