BATS Meeting!

A peer run support group for young (teen, college, twenty-something) transgendered people in the Boston area. This group was formed in response to other groups that already exist that do not meet the expectations and concerns for those in this age group, therefore joining the group is based on this. It is otherwise inclusive of those who are questioning their gender, from MTF to FTM to genderqueer to whatever gender descriptor you prefer. It is for those who are seeking others of similiar age for support in realization of one's gender identity, help with coming-out, transition concerns, and anything that else that members wish to bring up. Emphasis on group participation with the flow of each meeting not to be dictacted by any one member, and no particular end is promoted over another (to transition or not to transition, etc.). A LGBTIQ friendly safe space, with confidentiality agreement among members to respect other member's discussion.

Meetings will be held at MIT in Cambridge. Specific details about our location and meeting times will be given upon becoming a member.

If you would like to attend, please join the group as this is the only way the meeting place and time is announced. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boston-area-trans-support/

This year is Cultural Survival’s 30th Annual Winter Bazaar Series. The Cultural Survival Bazaars are the biggest international craft & art fair in America. These are free-admission events offering attendees the unique opportunity to shop fairly traded items, handmade by indigenous peoples in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

At the Cultural Survival Bazaars, every gift has a story to tell. Meet many of the artisans who make the crafts, learn about them, the craft-making process, and their cultural communities. The items available at the bazaars include jewelry, art, crafts, clothing, pottery, tribal wares, carvings, décor, and much more. Best of all, the proceeds all support a variety of nonprofit work worldwide (www.cs.org) while supporting indigenous artisans and fair trade.

The Cultural Survival Bazaars are a great place to bring the family, meet friends, and shop and enjoy the cultural atmosphere.
