(TGEA) was established to bring together the varied segments of the local gender community into a nurturing and supportive network. Now, as we approach nearly 50 years of outreach, our goals are just as important: to provide a supportive environment and day-to-day assistance for transgender and non-binary individuals and their significant others, friends, family and allies (SOFFAs), to help them overcome their sense of isolation, and to provide educational and social opportunities. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/ChurchSign.jpg\"><\/p>\n<hr>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transgender Education Association (TGEA), in coordination with MCC NoVA, are pleased to announce that this month&#8217;s Second Friday Community Building Group Meeting will be an in-person monthly meeting format on Friday, April 10th from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.
