Transgender Fife

Transgender Fife is a group that originally stems from a Needs Assessment carried out by LGBT Health and Wellbeing and the social and support group that was born out of it. Our goal is to provide a safe and empowering space for members of the Fife transgender community.

We are open to people who are at any stage of their transitional journey, and to people who may be experiencing personal difficulties with their gender identity and just wish to have an outlet for their feelings and a desire to get to know others who have travelled similar paths. Welcome to all trans Fifers, including those who are nonbinary or intersex.
