There’s a bi weekly car show that I go to that usually has about 50-80 cars come out it’s specifically an all lgbtqia+ meet but mostly everyone is trans. Let me know and I’ll dm you a time date and location.

I’ve done laser but I still have facial hair any girls getting electrolysis? Where do yall go?

I enjoy going to old dump sites around St. Paul and digging for old artifacts would anyone be down to join me sometime?

Hi everyone!

My partner and I are relocating from San Francisco to Rochester, MN, and I couldn’t find a Rochester-specific trans subreddit, so I’m hoping folks here might have some recommendations!

We’re both in our mid-20s and totally happy to drive up to the Twin Cities for events, meetups, and community, but I’m curious about what exists closer to Rochester too.

A few things I’d love recommendations for:

• Is there much LGBTQ+ community in Rochester, or do most people go to the Twin Cities for events/community?
• Are there any LGBTQ+ organizations, meetups, social groups, cafés, spaces, etc. you’d recommend checking out?
• Lesbian and trans-specific spaces/events would be especially appreciated!
• Are there any recurring events or groups that would be good for newcomers trying to make friends?

I’m also looking for resources for my little sister. She recently came out as trans and moved to Rochester with my mom from Georgia. She’s starting her first year of high school and has been feeling pretty lonely and struggling to find people she relates to.

Our family is supportive, and as her older sibling who has gone through my own coming-out journey, I’m trying to give her as much support as I can. But I also know there’s only so much family can provide — I really want her to have friends her own age and a community where she can just be herself.

Are there any trans/LGBTQ+ youth groups, teen events, community centers, or other youth-friendly spaces in Rochester that I could look into with her? Even events that aren’t specifically for teens but are PG/PG-13 and welcoming to families would be great.

She’s also really into taekwondo and running and is genuinely a fantastic runner. If anyone knows of trans-inclusive youth sports programs, running clubs, martial arts programs, or other activities where LGBTQ+ teens have had good experiences, I’d love those recommendations too. It definitely doesn’t have to be a specifically trans sports club - mainly somewhere she can participate and feel safe and accepted.

Rochester recommendations would be amazing, but we’re also open to things in the Twin Cities that might be worth making the drive for.

Thank you so much! I’d especially love to hear from trans people, LGBTQ+ parents/siblings, or anyone who grew up queer in Minnesota and knows whats up!❤️

I moved to Savage from south Minneapolis this summer and I am looking to re-establish community here. Anyone know of events or groups that are queer-focused/accepting?

I’m going to be starting hrt, just starting out transitioning. Also what will the likely cost be for the appointment and medication. I have no insurance.
