Trans Beach Trip
On August 26th - 30th 2021, a group of transgender folk gathered together in a beach house for the first ever Trans Beach Trip. For many this was their first time swimming, or even wearing a bathing suit, since beginning transition. This year, we're doing it again, bigger, better, and more accessible than last! Join us October 14-18, 2022 in Gulf Shores, Alabama. If you're interested in joining us, email aly@rpom.org

"To go from feeling almost like an orphan to finding out one has the most wonderful siblings imaginable is a level of happiness and joy that puts language to shame."
"This will definitely go down as a truly unforgettable experience with some of the most amazing people I've met in my life."
"It was something we will remember for the rest of our lives, and I'm so happy to have gotten to know everyone and so lucky to have such a beautiful amazing group of friends. We absolutely can't wait till the next time!"

"The best time I've had in recent memory with some of the best people!"

The pandemic and Hurricane Ida did little to dampen the spirits of those at the retreat. Their commentary speaks for itself and the experience as a whole.
​
Due to the surge of COVID, vaccinations and a negative test were required to participate. These requirements were received enthusiastically by the attendees; there were no complaints or hesitation in looking out for each other's safety.
When granted a place to simply exist in a welcoming and relaxed environment, trans people thrive.
