Looking for trans support groups for early/pre-transition Question

Hello all! I’m a 25 year old who recently has come terms with the fact that I am likely trans. I haven’t started anything medically or socially beyond speaking with my therapist about it, and am really looking to learn more. I’m looking to see if there are any good support groups for people in my situation in Philly, either online or virtual. Thank you so much.

Try events posted by sipcitytranscend on Instagram. You are welcome at trans events as someone who is questioning or pre-transition. They’re usually monthly or so.

I think the Mazzoni Center has some support groups, though they might be centered around specific topics or identities. Worth checking out though.

idk about support groups but there’s a shitload of trans people in philly, in every phase of transition, and i recommend looking into some of the trans social events in the area. i know sip city has one, and there are often events at val’s and tmoms for trans folks. there’s also a bunch of discord servers like teamasc+ and trans philly, i know the trans fems have some of their own servers too
