Overview
A trans only social event focusing uncommon identities to build community and make friends. Not for cruising, hook ups, or dating.
Come join us at 2Bears Tavern Uptown for our twice monthly trans only social event! This group is for those with underrepresented trans identities, especially ones who want to relax, make friends, and need a break, or aren't interested in cruising or hookup events. 2Bears is right off of the Wilson train stop, there's free popcorn, free darts, free pinball, a nintendo switch with Mario kart and smash bros, a (clean!) gender neutral bathroom, & great drink specials. (please tip your bartender for the soda!) There are quite a few nearby restaurants you can grab food to bring in, and the bar is open until 4am. Visit https://TU.galyxy.space for more info
