There is a growing amount of research indicating a co-occurrence of Autism and transgender/gender non-conforming identities. Research has also shown disparities in Autism diagnosis based on gender or gender expression. This workshop will discuss how gender and Autism interact and how it impacts interventions when supporting transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. Participants will be introduced to the neurodiversity paradigm through a mental health lens and how it applies to health providers.

Open to those needing a quiet space to reflect from 9:00a to 1:00 pm

In this solo workshop, Jennifer Marie tackles one of the most common and emotionally loaded questions she hears from clients and community members alike: “Am I too old to transition?” This session is created especially for those exploring gender identity later in life—whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond—and wondering if you’ve somehow “missed your chance.” Drawing from her own lived experience and years of coaching individuals at every stage of life, Jennifer Marie offers a compassionate, grounded, and realistic perspective on what it means to come into yourself later than you expected. What You’ll Explore: • Debunking the Age Myth – Why there is no expiration date on authenticity, and how transition and self-discovery look different (not worse) later in life • Unique Considerations of Later-in-Life Exploration – Family, careers, relationships, fear, grief, excitement, and everything in between • How Jennifer Marie Supports Clients Through This Question – Practical, emotional, and mindset tools she uses to help people move forward with clarity and self-trust • Permission to Go at Your Own Pace – Whether transition is social, medical, emotional, or simply internal, all paths are valid Bonus for Attendees: All participants will receive a free downloadable copy of Jennifer Marie’s bestselling book, Ask Me Anything: My Transparent Transition Story, offering deeper insight into her journey and the questions many people are afraid to ask out loud. Why Attend: If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I’d figured this out sooner,” this workshop is for you. This is a space to replace fear with understanding, shame with self-compassion, and uncertainty with possibility. Because the truth is simple—and powerful: It’s never too late to become yourself.

Living a full life as a transgender person is much more than transition and surgery. Sure, that can be part, but do you have a plan for your life? Maybe you are just starting out, have decided you are transgender, and you are trying to figure out what is next. Are you comfortable where your journey has taken you? Do you have a plan for something else? Are you planning for a happy and full life? In this workshop Jen and Lilia will discuss what they feel are some of the important things to consider when you plan and navigate your journey. They will share some of their experiences and also some observations. We'll have a conversation about what has worked and what hasn’t.

The title makes reference to the frequent assertion that being transgender is not natural. Statements such as, "it goes against the laws of nature," reflect a lack of understanding of sexual expression in the natural world. This raises the question, what do sex and gender really mean from a scientific perspective? This workshop will explore how the sexes differ, how they are similar, and how sexual expression and gender identity are more naturally viewed as a broad range of forms and behaviors. We will examine mechanisms of sex determination and development, including the roles of chromosomes, genes, hormones, the environment, and their interactions. The extreme diversity of sexual expression in nature provides the basis for understanding, just what is natural?

Artificial intelligence as it is generally understood...is generally misunderstood. Right now, AI is in the peak of hype. It is often treated as the savior of the planet or the end of life on earth. As we have learned from other technologies-- the personal computer, the consumer-facing Internet, social media, ubiquitous smart-phones-- the likeliest outcomes are somewhere along a continuum. That is, some good things will happen, as will some bad things. Mostly, things we never considered at all will become routine. The purposes of this seminar will be to unwind some of the hype, de-mystify what's at the root of AI as most us encounter it, and to consider what sorts of things that might affect the transgender community in the next three to five years.

Becoming your own self-advocate as a trans-identified person is essential to obtaining quality health care, and getting the essential agency supports for transition, wellness, and just being able to thrive. There are countless horror stories where many in the transgender community have encountered barriers that seemingly are insurmountable. Some of those stories were exacerbated by the lock-downs and quarantines necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the biases and cancellations by the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in DC. However, as we know well, denying necessary services to the transgender community has been a way of doing business for far too long. The goal of this presentation is to identify ways to make your individual path to authenticity free of roadblocks and then help others overcome their speed-bumps as well Interest Tags: Advocacy, Military/Veterans, Non-Binary, TransFeminine, TransMasculine, TransPeople of Color, Youth

Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it! And so it seems to be with self confidence. I believe that self confidence is crucial to finding one's place in this world and one's happiness - CD/TG or not! So why do some seem to have it when others don't? Where does one find it when there seems to be none? How does one go about building it? In this workshop we will discuss what I believe to be the foundation blocks of self confidence, how you can nurture it in yourself, and, once blossomed, how to keep that growth steady and strong.

When life changes in ways you didn’t choose, or didn’t expect, it’s easy to slip into survival mode. Many people connected to the transgender community experience this, including their partners, family members, friends, allies, and caregivers whose own lives are quietly reshaped by transition, growth, and profound change.

This heart-centered visioning workshop is an open invitation to anyone navigating life after a major shift. You’ll be guided to pause and reflect on what has changed for you, what you’ve been carrying, and what parts of yourself may have gone quiet along the way.

Through gentle reflection and practical visioning tools, you’ll begin to reconnect with what matters most and create a personal vision that feels authentic, grounded, and alive. This is not about fixing anything or having a five-year plan, it’s about moving beyond survival and remembering that your life still gets to feel like yours.

Come as you are. Leave with clarity, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of possibility for what comes next. Interest Tags: Not Specified

Much of the animus towards the LGBT and specifically transgender community is based upon Religious Teachings from the Scriptures. While the Scriptures can be interpreted in many ways partly because there are words in the scriptures which we just do not know their actual meaning, we have to infer their meaning from a context that we think existed at the time but are not sure. This issue is analogous to our Constitution; we keep running into questions as to what the text of the Constitution actually means and that's why we have a Supreme Court to opine on how to interpret such. And different Judges with different backgrounds and values don't always interpret it the same way. So, if we can't always agree on what a document written in English only a couple of hundred years ago means, then who can definitively say what Scriptures says about LGBT issues? Indeed, that's partly why some religious denominations are accepting, and others are not

If you want to be comfortable that the Scriptures didn't leave trans people out or want arguments to refute the non-accepting, this is the right session to attend. I have updated it with new source material and I think you will leave with a greater appreciation of how you are included in the Bible even if it's hammered home that you don't.

No prior religious background is needed and agnostics and atheists are encouraged to attend to be better allies. Interest Tags: Advocacy, Gender Affirming, Spirituality/Religion

For many trans women, imposter syndrome isn’t just an occasional doubt, it can be a constant whisper that questions our validity, our belonging, and whether we’re “enough.” Yet one of the most powerful ways we quiet that voice is through participation, by stepping into activities that call forth the woman we know ourselves to be. This workshop explores how taking part in affirming, embodied, and community-based activities helps us overcome imposter syndrome and solidify our identity as women. Whether it’s lacing up for roller derby, showing up consistently to health club classes, or joining community engagement groups, these experiences do far more than fill our schedules, they actively build our sense of self. Through personal examples, we’ll look at how courage grows from repetition, how confidence emerges from alignment, and how identity becomes real through lived experience. Participants will reflect on the environments that have helped them feel most authentically themselves, examine the beliefs that hold them back, and discover how choosing growth-oriented activities can reshape internal narratives. This session blends inspiration with practical insight, helping you recognize that identity isn’t something you wait for; it’s something you create through action. When trans women place us in spaces that affirm who we are, imposter syndrome loses its grip and our identity has room to take root, strengthen, and shine.

This clinical presentation examines mental health disparities experienced by transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse adolescents, with a focus on elevated rates of anxiety, depression, suicidality, and self-harm. Grounded in minority stress and developmental frameworks, the session explores how gender-based stigma, family rejection, and systemic barriers contribute to psychological distress during adolescence. Emphasis is placed on identifying protective factors, including caregiver affirmation, community connectedness, and access to gender-affirming care. Evidence-based, gender-affirming clinical interventions are reviewed to support resilience, coping, and post-traumatic growth. Participants will leave with a strengths-based framework for working ethically and effectively with gender-diverse adolescents in clinical settings.

Interacting with law enforcement officers can be stressful for anyone—but it can feel especially complicated when your gender presentation, name, or appearance does not align with the information on your legal identification. This workshop is designed to help transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse people better understand what to expect during common law-enforcement encounters and how to navigate them safely and confidently. Led by a veteran law-enforcement professional with extensive experience in victim advocacy and trauma-informed response, this session will cover real-world scenarios such as traffic stops, identification requests, emergency calls, and bystander encounters. Participants will learn practical strategies for communication, understand what officers are legally permitted to ask or do, and discuss ways to reduce risk while maintaining personal dignity and safety. This workshop is not about telling people how to “comply” or change who they are—it’s about preparation, situational awareness, and informed decision-making. Attendees will leave with concrete tools, a clearer understanding of their rights, and realistic guidance grounded in both law-enforcement practice and the lived experiences of transgender communities.

Since humankind began to define the boundaries of gender behavior, there have been people who have defied or crossed over those boundaries. Hear about some of these individuals, from the 1860s to the 21st century. Some of them were male to female, others of them were female to male. Some of them lived as transgender for most of their lives, others for only brief but significant periods in their lives. The deeds of some of these people have inspired books, plays, movies, and even operas. All of them left a legacy of some sort, including a United States military installation being renamed to honor one of them. Although this seminar has been presented before, Melissa changes the roster of historical figures presented each time she does this seminar.

Across the U.S., legislative proposals and policy changes increasingly shape what gender-affirming care looks like in schools, healthcare systems, and families’ daily lives. For counselors and medical providers, the challenge is twofold: (1) staying oriented to how proposed or enacted policies impact client functioning, and (2) responding in ways that are ethical, clinically sound, and sustainable for providers. This session reviews the most common categories of gender-related bills and policy actions affecting TGNC people (participants will be provided a bill-tracking worksheet to populate with state and federal examples), then translates these realities into clinical practice: assessment and documentation, care coordination, maintaining access pathways, addressing fear and identity threat, and supporting families navigating systems. The session closes with strategies to reduce provider moral injury and burnout while maintaining effective advocacy and professional boundaries.

I can teach line dances, ballroom and country couples dancing. To keep things on the up and up, I propose to teach all to lead and to follow, so we don’t run into odd numbers.

I’d love to also have the attendees get a flavor for couples dancing and learning both roles. Interest Tags: Experience Sharing/Discussion, Family/Friends, Socializing

Transgender and gender-diverse individuals experience disproportionately high rates of disordered eating and eating disorders, often shaped by intersecting experiences of gender dysphoria, minority stress, body surveillance, and limited access to affirming care. While much of the clinical literature has centered on alleviating dysphoria, emerging research and community-informed practice highlight the protective and therapeutic role of gender euphoria—the felt sense of affirmation, comfort, and joy in one’s gendered experience. This workshop explores how gender euphoria can function as both a buffer against disordered eating behaviors and, at times, a complicating factor when attempts to modify the body intersect with restriction, over-exercise, or compensatory behaviors. Presenters will examine how disordered eating may develop or intensify in pursuit of gender affirmation, particularly when desired physical changes are constrained by biological, financial, medical, or sensory limitations. Special attention will be given to clinical work with neurodivergent trans and gender-diverse clients, for whom common affirming practices (e.g., binders, tucking, long hair, certain clothing textures) may introduce sensory distress rather than relief. The workshop will also address self-of-the-therapist considerations, including clinicians’ emotional responses to persistent dysphoria, perceived loss of functioning related to hormonal or surgical interventions, and the ethical tension between affirmation and harm reduction. Through case examples, clinical frameworks, and evidence-based discussion, participants will leave with practical strategies to support embodied care that promotes gender euphoria without reinforcing disordered eating patterns—while sustaining therapist attunement, humility, and resilience.

This workshop explores why many people navigating gender discovery or transition experience shifts in attraction or new curiosities around intimacy, and why exploration doesn’t require immediate answers or labels. Rather than focusing on shock value, this session centers on understanding desire, identity, and attraction as natural parts of coming into oneself.

Jennifer Marie and her partner co-lead this seminar through an honest, grounded conversation about kink, power dynamics, desire, and comfort zones, all framed through trust, communication, consent, and emotional safety. Drawing from lived experience, they explore how curiosity and self-awareness can be empowering rather than shame-filled.

Why Attend:
This workshop offers a respectful, affirming space to discuss topics that are often whispered about, or avoided altogether. Whether you’re curious about kink, navigating changing desires, questioning your sexuality, or simply seeking open, thoughtful conversation, you’ll leave feeling informed, validated, and empowered.

Gender affirmation doesn’t stop at removing hair. Many people also want support with acne, discoloration, redness, scars, or texture changes that can affect how they see themselves. This workshop introduces non-injectable skin and laser treatments that can help without relying on fillers or Botox. We will explain devices such as laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, acne laser therapy, and vascular/pigment lasers in clear, beginner-friendly language, including what they do, what to expect, and how to plan treatment timelines. We will also cover pre- and post-care, safety across different skin tones, and how these treatments can support gender euphoria and authenticity. We will reserve time at the end for questions. This session is trauma-informed, dysphoria-aware, and designed for anyone exploring skin options for gender affirmation.

Are you a transmasculine person who wants to learn how to use makeup as a gender affirming tool and develop techniques to enhance the masculine aspects of your gender presentation? Have you struggled with associating makeup with performative femininity and/or trauma related to societal expectations for AFAB people? Do you want to heal trauma around makeup, making it YOUR tool to use when and how you see fit? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this workshop is for you! Transmasculine people often have a complex relationship with makeup, because AFAB people in our society are often socialized into performative femininity, from a young age. Clothing choices, hair styles, the colors one wears, and the type and style of makeup are all part of a culture that defines femininity by what one does and how one presents. Terms such as “tomboy” are often used to, at the very least, imply that the person is not acting in a “ladylike” manner, or according to societal expectations for the gender assigned at birth. Many times it is used in outright disparaging ways that demean a specific individual or group of individuals who behave or present in a way that does not conform to their assigned gender. While not everyone who doesn’t conform to gender stereotypes is transgender, transmasculine and non-binary individuals may have trauma around things such as makeup if they feel like society forced it on them. Conversely, makeup can also serve as a gender affirming tool for transmasculine individuals, helping them to create the angles and facial effects that will help them to align what they see in the mirror with what they feel, and how they see themselves inside. This workshop is designed to help transmasculine people to begin healing their relationship with makeup, by helping them to see it as a gender affirming tool one can use when one chooses, without feeling like they MUST use it daily. How would you feel to see the person in the mirror look back at you with a nice 5 o'clock shadow, or a more definded or chiseled jawline? Are you ready to see who on the outside the person you are on the inside. Interest Tags: Aging, Experience Sharing/Discussion, Gender Affirming, Image & Presentation, Non-Binary, TransMasculine

This seminar is designed to help the SO process their emotional response to a spouse’s presenting in the opposite gender or their stated intention to transition. In the community, your presenter has heard from some SOs that they felt lied to, betrayed or were kept in the dark with regard to their loved one’s gender identity or desire to dress. The feelings are more intense if the partner was ‘found out’ rather than if they had disclosed on their own. However, even when the partner makes a disclosure, it is still often a jarring experience for the SO. This presentation is meant to assist with these feelings by examining them, and then offering some coping skills to allow the SO to process the potential changes in the relationship, potentially find the possibilities of good outcomes and also to offer a space with only SOs, which will allow free expression without needing to edit.

Slip into your best island‑inspired outfit and get ready for a night of pure ABBA joy. We’re turning the Mama Mia movie into a full‑blown sing‑along celebration—complete with dancing, laughter, and all the feel‑good moments you can handle. As the film plays, the music becomes our cue to jump in, sing out, and dance like we’re on a sun‑soaked Greek island. Whether you know every lyric or just love the vibe, this is your chance to be part of the musical magic and create memories that feel straight out of the movie.

Dance, sing and relive the magic. This isn’t just a movie night — it’s a full‑blown experience. Expect laughter, nostalgia, and a crowd ready to celebrate one of the most beloved dance films of all time.

You don’t need to be an artist to be creative, just willing to have fun. Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or you secretly are a Picasso, this activity is for you. Join us for a relaxed, laughter-filled paint & sip where the goal isn’t perfection, it’s expression, connection, and joy. You’ll be guided step-by-step, encouraged to make it your own, and surrounded by old friends and new ones who are all just here to have a good time. Come as you are. Paint how you want. Sip if you’d like. And yes… did we mention fun?
