GENDER EXPRESSION CARE WORKSHOPS

You don’t need to do this alone.

Our 8-week online Gender Expression Care Workshop helps trans and gender-diverse adults develop skills like gender affirming voice, cosmetics & skincare, and wardrobe styling, so that they can explore and deepen their connection to identity, presentation, and self-expression.

Each 2h session begins with practical skills. Then, we break into small groups led by licensed gender-specialized therapists, to help you apply these skills into your daily life and relationships, and explore them in a safe space with peers.

Monica Prata is the Director of Gender Expression Care at Kaiser Permanente, founder of the Gender Expression Care framework, and co-author of a landmark paper published in NEJM Catalyst.

“In many ways this helped me more than counseling. With counseling you’re struggling to answer the question who you are. With this coaching you’re getting practical lessons on how to implement your plan. I honestly don’t know how people go forward without this.”

What happens in Gender Expression Care workshops?

In GEC, you get to define your unique vision for where you want to be.

We provide a safe space to address your practical needs during gender transition, with the help of professionally trained experts. This includes:

  • Clear frameworks to help you map & express your complex, unique identity

  • Gender-congruent wardrobe & hair styling

  • Feminizing, masculinizing, & neutralizing cosmetics and skincare

  • Gender-expressive vocal coaching

  • Gender-affirming movement, mannerisms, and exercise

  • Dedicated time to ask medical questions to TGNB-affirming doctors

  • Asserting pronouns and coming out

  • Confidence coaching

  • Transition timeline planning

“Therapists can assess the why, endocrinologists can prescribe the hormones for change, but the confidence required to express these changes requires a different kind of support. Gender affirming coaches fill this void, providing a safe environment for discussion.”

Why join a Gender Expression Care workshop?

Because community is powerful & transformational.

Small group settings offers a unique opportunity to try on new modes of expression in a “test kitchen” environment, to share support and feedback, and build vital, sustaining relationships with yourself and others.
