The Connie NormanTrans Empowerment Center

Trans and non-binary people broadly. National chapters with a strong LA home at the Connie. Bilingual (English/Spanish) programming throughout.

Want to connect with other trans and nonbinary people, access practical support in a celebratory rather than clinical environment, or need a soft landing after time away from community.

FLUX coordinates many of the Connie's center-wide events. Their HIV pre-testing events include free services like haircuts, makeovers, and nail care — the care isn't just medical.

Black trans women and femmes, the broader Black LGBTQIA+ community, and transmasculine people. UWC operates from a Black trans cultural framework — not a general LGBTQ+ one.

Are Black and trans and want community that explicitly centers your culture. Need practical help with ID documents, clothing, binders, or safety. Want peer support that doesn't feel clinical.

The self-defense workshop is trans/NB-only with a crisis advocate present — a rare offering. The Legal Docs Clinic removes a major barrier to housing, employment, and healthcare. Binder applications are available on their website.

AFAB transmasculine people, flower and femme boys, nonbinary, Two Spirit, intersex, and gender-expansive communities. People who have been erased in both trans and feminist spaces.

Are transmasc, nonbinary, Two Spirit, intersex, or gender-expansive and want space that explicitly sees you. Are looking for healing through story and art rather than — or alongside — clinical care.

Invisible Men's focus on Reproductive Justice and HIV prevention for transmasc people addresses needs that are often completely absent from standard healthcare. Trans* Lounge runs two active peer support groups — a rare dedicated space for transmasc and gender-expansive community in Los Angeles. "I Exist, We Exist" is their guiding statement.

Black and Indigenous LGBTQIA+ survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Trans and gender non-conforming people of color. Over 700 QTIBIPOC CSA survivor members. Board is entirely trans/intersex/NB/queer POC who survived CSA.

Are a QTIBIPOC survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Want healing that doesn't depend on prisons, policing, or state-run psychiatric institutions. Are ready (or curious) to engage through storytelling, community, and political framework.

Mirror Memoirs is a healing and organizing space — not a mental health provider. It works best alongside therapy, or as an entry point for people for whom clinical settings have felt unsafe. Members can be paid as workshop facilitators.

Trans, gender-diverse, and intersex (TGI) people in Los Angeles County. RTF centers people who have been failed by systems that weren't built for them — especially those navigating mental health, recovery, or the gap between needing care and being able to access it.

Are TGI and struggling to find a therapist or provider who actually gets it. Are in recovery and want peer support from someone who has been there — not a clinical program. Are between appointments and need someone to hold the space. Want to be connected to care without having to explain yourself from scratch every time.

RTF provides peer support — not clinical treatment. What makes it different is the foundation: shared identity. Peer support from someone who has lived a version of your experience offers something that systems built by and for others often cannot. RTF is also actively developing transgender support groups in Los Angeles — and takes its cues from the community about what's needed. If you're looking for a group that doesn't exist yet, that's a conversation worth having. RTF also works to move TGI people into licensed provider networks — building the infrastructure the community needs long-term.

Trans and non-binary job seekers, workers, and employers. People facing employment discrimination, returning to work, or navigating a transition in the workplace. National reach with LA base.

Are looking for trans-affirming employment, have experienced workplace discrimination, or are re-entering the workforce. Also if you need mental health navigation woven into practical support rather than siloed from it.

Trans Can Work's resources page includes referrals to mental health, recovery, housing, legal, and food access services across LA — a useful secondary navigation tool. Pair with UWC's Legal Docs Clinic if you need updated ID documents before job-searching.

Any trans or non-binary person needing health care. Most insurances accepted — Kaiser not accepted. Located on the second floor of the Connie building.

Need hormones, HIV care, PrEP/PEP, or Hep C treatment in a trans-affirming setting without navigating a separate clinical environment.

Opened March 2026. Lyft coverage for the first two visits is real — let them know when you book. Kaiser is the one insurance not accepted. All other care happens in the same building you already trust.

Transgender people of color seeking sober community and transitional support. Black-led and trans-POC-centered — serving Los Angeles County from the Connie.

Are trans and a person of color and want a sober, affirming community alongside practical support. Are in recovery or exploring recovery and need peer community — not just clinical care.

Hours are limited — call ahead at (562) 704-1471. UPOR also runs their own clothing giveaway separate from UWC's Ready 2 Wear Closet. Quarterly Game Nights are a low-key, low-barrier way in.

Trans, nonbinary, intersex, gender non-conforming, and gender-fluid individuals who want to lift their voice — and those who want to witness. Cultural equity and inclusion are at the center of their mission.

Want to connect through music, performance, or art. Are looking for community that centers joy and expression. Are interested in embodiment through breath and voice as part of your healing or self-discovery.

Founded in 2015, TCLA is the highest-profile all-trans identified choral group in North America. Singing together — breath, body, harmony — is not a small thing. Visit their join page to learn how to get involved.
