Are you gender variant in any way? Many labels and adjectives are used to describe aspects and degrees of gender variance, including 'transman', a 'transwoman', 'intersex' or 'transsexual' person. Alternatively, are you close to someone who is gender variant?

Do you live, work in, or visit Gloucestershire or the surrounding area? Are you looking for a safe and supportive environment in which you can be yourself and no-one will put you down? If so, Gloscats may be for you.
