FREE gender-affirming fashion workshops for the trans/non-binary community.

Birmingham LGBT is proudly working with G(end)er Swap to deliver two gender-affirming style workshops for members of the trans community, providing a safe space to find new style resources and experiment with expression.
Fashion and presentation can be an amazing way to relieve dysphoria, and these workshops will be beneficial to both beginners and experienced DIY-fashionistas.
Attendees will leave with practical style tips and learn DIY techniques to create a gender affirming wardrobe!

Gender Moods and Fashion Feelings Workshop - Thursday 16th Feb 6:30-8pm

G(end)er Swap is here to guide you on a creative adventure to explore your current gender and fashion feelings/inspiration through collage and mood boarding - with a Q+A forum to round it off. An interactive workshop that celebrates where you are now with a visual that inspires you to look forward to your future self!

Styling Gender Euphoria Workshop – Saturday 25th Feb 1-2:30pm
