We are the frients
We are a leisure group for young trans* and nonbinary people, and anyone who questions their gender identity and fits in our age range from 14 to 27 years.
At our meetings on the second Saturday of the month from 2 pm and the fourth Tuesday of the month from 7 pm, you will easily meet other trans* people, have thrilling exchanges, and most of all, enjoy a relaxed day in a group where being trans* is not the exception; it's the norm.
Primarily, we spend our meetings at the diversity youth center with changing activities like board games or arts and crafts. Every so often, we go ice skating or swimming in and around Munich. Whatever happens at the next frients meeting will be communicated about a week before the meeting on the website.
After any activity, we typically prepare some vegan food together for a free dinner and a nice start to the evening. The meetings frequently go into the night with people playing board games, drinking some lemonade, or just enjoying time spent with frients. You can expect there to be around 50 people from in and around Munich and Bavaria attending our event over a day.
A few times a year, we host our transTalk, an event that focuses entirely on exchange and discussion with other young trans people in a safe space. Here, you can ask questions anonymously or publicly that are on your mind but are rarely discussed, or suggest topics that you have always wanted to talk about with other trans people.
Our yearly highlight is the frients Freizeitfahrt, our yearly summer trip that usually takes place over the Whitsun holidays. It's an extended weekend spent at a house with the possibility to get to know each other even better, develop close friendships, and just relax somewhere while not worrying about being trans* and fitting into societal gender norms.
Are you interested in joining the frients? You are very welcome to just come to our upcoming meeting, no sign-up required! If you would prefer to talk to someone beforehand or feel unsure about just showing up, feel free to write to us using our contact form.
