PFLAG PTI Chicago
PTI (Parents of Transgender Individuals) Chicago
Meets SECOND Thursday at 7:00 pm
PTI Chicago is a confidential support group for parents and grandparents of transgender, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary offspring of any age. Thanks to Zoom, many of our members live outside the Chicago Metro area—from the “collar counties” to southeast lower Michigan and beyond!
Together we read books and host speakers. We listen empathically to each others’ questions, stories, and concerns and then exchange deep knowledge, resources, virtual hugs, and of course humor. We support YOU so that you can best support your kids—whether they’re 5 or 45! To safeguard the privacy of our vulnerable families, PTI Chicago meetings are not open to everyone. We “screen” new members by asking you to share (confidentially, via email) basic information (gender ID, pronouns) about your trans loved one(s) and briefly describe your family’s trans journey. Then we shower you with invites and recommendations and welcome you to our vibrant, life-changing (and life-saving) community.
We gather via Zoom on the 2d Thursday of every month from 7pm to 9pm.
We hope to resume hosting hybrid meetings from the Center on Halsted some time this year.If you or someone you know has a transgender, nonbinary, or gender-nonconforming loved one and would like to join us for the first time, please e-mail pflagptichicago@pflagillinois.org
