East Bay TransWomen
The Premiere TransWomen Adult Social Group for the San Francisco East Bay
Formally known as the Diablo Valley Girls (DVG) the East Bay TransWoman social group is for adults. Our members are married or single, and describe themselves as gay, straight, bisexual and queer. We share a common desire to celebrate who we are and to support each other.
East Bay TransWomen
EBTW was formed to improve the lives of transgender individuals and their families by providing social opportunities, peer support, resources, outreach, and other services focused on the specific needs of the male-to-female transgender community as well as those who identity with or support the larger transgender community.
If you would like access to our event calendar, you will need to apply for membership. Our group is open to anyone who identifies as transgender and those exploring their gender identity. We invite partners, family members, trans men, friends, and allies to join us. EBTW is a non-sexual, social group. Sexual behavior of any kind is not permitted at our events. See our Code of Conduct.
