I’ve personally had success using OkCupid and have found my fair share of dates there and also made some great connections with other trans people. I can confirm that it’s a great way to meet trans individuals and there are a variety of roles to sign up for, even something as simple as setup/cleanup shifts. It’s one of the most popular LGBT+ bars in the city and while the majority of its customers are gay men, finding TGs isn’t uncommon.
Charlotte’s LGBT history shows radical attitude shifts, despite fights over trans rights
It’s big enough to hold events but there were none the night I visited. You have to be a bit more consistent with your efforts by regularly socializing with trans people. We provide clothing, shoes, accessories, makeup, life items (i.e., menstruation items, bath products, etc.) and specialty items (such as binders and gaffs) free of charge. While she works to support others, Goodwill is now working to support her. The company has formally changed her name in their system and has approved paid time off for her gender-affirming surgery taking place in August.

That meant transgender women could use the women’s room in most public buildings (transgender men could use the men’s room, but that occasioned much less controversy). After Charlotte’s vote, state legislators in Raleigh quickly passed a new bill overturning the ordinance and forbidding other North Carolina cities from passing their own. Six months after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, Charlotte City Council’s decision to add sexual orientation and gender identity to its local nondiscrimination ordinance seemed like it might not be too controversial. After all, the biggest question in gay rights had just been decided by the highest court in the land.
CATS will temporarily adjust bus Route 4 due to the Lovin’ Life Music Festival this weekend.
In this newsletter, we’ll take a look back at several key points in Charlotte’s LGBT history. Meanwhile, so-called “don’t say gay” bills like in Florida, battles over LGBT-themed books with sexually explicit passages such as "Gender Queer" and the place of trans athletes in sports have dominated the headlines for months. Such an amazing resource for local folx to access services in a safe, accepting, and supportive environment.

The North Carolina General Assembly last week overrode Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of a trio of bills. One bans puberty blockers, gender surgery and other transition-related health care for minors. One forbids transgender women and girls from playing on female sports teams from middle school through college. And one requires schools to notify parents if their child wants to start using a different name or pronoun.

For some, the process will be easy, while for others, it might take some time. As a trans woman, I felt pretty safe here during my visit—way less sketchy stuff than in other places I’ve been. Making friends might be a bit tricky at first, but it gets easier, especially if you hit up bars and join meetups. The crowd is mixed and often has trans men and women but usually everyone leans towards their thirties and up.
Petra’s Bar – Located at 1919 Commonwealth Ave, started off as a gay bar but slowly, it has also become a popular spot among cis folks. The owners don’t care whether you’re trans, gay straight, bi, or anything else. Hattie’s Tap & Tavern – Located at The Plaza, known as a lesbian bar, but it’s a welcoming spot for all queer folks, especially trans women.
As of October 2017, the Campaign for Southern Equality has just published its Trans resource list for the South. In this new version of Trans in the South, you’ll find lists of trans-friendly service providers – from doctors to attorneys to counselors – across the South as well as resources to assist with funding medical transition. Over the past year we’ve worked hard to add more resources to each state in the guide.
And we’ve significantly expanded resources related to HIV/AIDS services and added resources that offer support services for trans folks. In recognition and appreciation of grassroots work led by trans folks across the South, this update also includes links to local resource guides. Our Providing Access to Trans Healthcare (PATH) Program also provides free case management, mental health services, and medical care for uninsured and underinsured transgender and gender diverse individuals. This Directory is not an exhaustive list of all trans-affirming providers in the area and may not contain providers or resources for every health issue.
The moves Transcend is making will continue to elevate the trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming community towards the future! Amazing staff with people who have genuine passion for the cause. And if you’re too busy to meet in person then you can start slow by finding trans people online. In a nutshell, Charlotte is a treasure trove for meeting trans individuals.
