Everything said in the group is confidential. Please do not share with anyone the names or stories you learn in person or online. If you meet someone on the street, do not assume that they want to be outted.
Check your labels and privilege at the door. We don’t tolerate racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, ageist, classist, ablist, or other oppressive behaviors.
Each person has the right to their own expression of self, and none is more valid than another. Expression of a trans hierarchy will not be tolerated!
Each person knows what is best for her or himself, and therefore carries the primary responsibility for her or his well-being during the meeting. If at any time persons need to leave or take a break, for any reason, they are encouraged to do so.
We strive to have healthy relationships and hold ourselves accountable to each other and the wider community. As such, those who cannot maintain healthy relationships with the group or individuals therein will be asked to leave.
When speaking, use “I” statements, rather than “we,” “you,” or “they.” Please focus on your feelings, not opinions.
Allow others to speak as well, and listen. Don’t just wait to talk, and don’t try to dominate the group time.
Avoid individual problem solving. Individuals can learn from one another’s experiences to solve their own problems. Group time is not a replacement for individual therapy.
ADMINS AND MODERATORS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE AND PERMANENTLY BAN ANYONE, FOR ANY THING, AT ANY TIME.
