In November 2007 we opened up our meeting to SOFFAs (that's significant others, friends, family and allies). The meeting was well attended with many of the FTM London SOFFAs saying that they too would like the opportunity to have a network or meeting space of their own.
We are really fortunate that Sue, the mum of an FTM London member who transitioned 11 years ago, has offered to help facilitate a safe space for parents, siblings, friends and allies of FTMs to come together and talk about their experiences. We feel that this is really generous and to help facilitate the group, we offered one of the smaller meeting rooms at our Camden venue. The group has their own entry door and is held totally separately from the FTM London meeting.
The meeting is open to any family member, friends, partner, ally of an FTM or someone who thinks they might be, who wishes to chat with others.
Those interested in attending should email info@ftmlondon.org.uk titling their email SOFFAs, or leave a message on 079478 250778. We'll then let Sue know how many folk to expect!
