“It was started to create a space where folks could see more examples of nonbinary people hitting these milestones of adulthood, like getting married, having children, and buying a house.”This is how Sylvan Tomlin describes Nonbinary & Genderqueer Atlanta, a support group for individuals who identify as transgender or otherwise outside the gender binary.Tomlin, who is one of the organizers of the group, said that the peer-led group gives trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer adults a space each week to support each other, share wins, and cultivate a community.Transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals are at higher risk for depression and anxiety, conservative legislation has been disproportionately targeting the rights of transgender people, and data has shown increases in anti-trans hate crimes inrecent years.Tomlin pointed out that, because we don’t see representation of people who are trans or identify outside the gender binary in the media, lots of people haven’t seen the examples of those like them simply going through normal experiences, such as having a child, that are easier for cis people to see.“We span race and age,” Tomlin said, “and it’s obvious that it’s not something that just appeals to young white people.”If you are interested in learning more about Nonbinary & Genderqueer Atl, you can check out their Instagram @nonbinary.genderqueer.atl and Facebook page “Nonbinary and Genderqueer Atlanta.”"
