Who and what is T-LISH? We are a group of fierce young transgender women who throw kick-its at our spot on Hyde St. in the TL, and also outings to different places in and around the city. Whenever we throw kick-its or go out together, trust we have FREE food, FREE entertainment, and FREE condoms and lube. We chose our name, T-LISH to stand for Transgender Ladies Initiating Sisterhood, because the only way to be when you’re young and trans is connected and bonded with your transgender sisters. We got your back and we have the hookup, whether you just need supplies to stay safe or you want to find resources to help you with your transition or anything else. So if you’re between the ages of 14 to 24 hit us up, and we’ll make sure to show you a good time
Thanks to everyone who came out for the Glitter Ball! Photos are now online here.
