The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus's Transgender and Nonbinary Community Resource Guide to the Bay Area

We are so excited to share with you this comprehensive resource for trans and nonbinary life in the Bay Area! Here you'll find essential services, community spaces, and the amazing people who make this region home for so many of us.

The Bay Area has long been a beacon for LGBTQ+ communities to flourish, and that includes our vibrant trans and nonbinary community spread across San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and beyond. From longtime residents to folks just arriving, people here are building incredible lives, careers, families, and friendships.

We've organized this resource by geographic area, then by service type, to help you find exactly what you need close to home. Some resources serve the entire Bay Area, while others are neighborhood-specific, so you'll discover options no matter where you call home.

The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus is proud to support our trans and nonbinary community members and friends. We hope this guide helps you connect with services and community throughout the Bay Area.
