FAQs

Who can join G.E.M.?

G.E.M. online community prioritizes space for QTBIPOC folks, but does not turn people away who are looking for community. We will always prioritize the safety and comfort of QTBIPOC folks, and if someone is violating that, they will be escorted out of group.

How often does G.E.M. meet?

G.E.M. holds meetings on the 1st & 3rd Mondays of the month from 6PM-7:30PM PST via Zoom. In the event G.E.M. is canceled, an email prior to group will be sent along with announcing the cancellation via our IG @genderendersmeet.

Does G.E.M. ever host in person events?

Yes! G.E.M. is planning on having more in Covid conscious in-person opportunities.

In the meantime you can stay connected via email and instagram for any surprise pop-up G.E.M.’s that happen in person (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

Can I come late to G.E.M.? Leave early?

Although group starts at 6PM, there is a 10 minute grace period where we’ll wait to open the Zoom room to everyone until 6:10PM, so that people have time to login/connect.

With that being said…

For the sake of group attendees and being respectful of the time we’ve all set aside to invest together, we’d prefer people be no later than that. You may always leave early, it’s just difficult to begin group and have to start over mid group, to introduce people who are showing up 30+ minutes late. It’s all love lol, but we want to keep it respectful and considerate for all involved <3

How can I collaborate with G.E.M.?

Please feel free to reach out to myself, Bliss (they/he), at blissvasquez111@gmail.com, so that we can discuss how firstly our organizing vision/pillars of character align, and if those do, how we can create space together! <3
