WHO ARE WE
tm4m is a group for transmen who play with men (or want to...) and the men who play with us.
Our goal is to provide information, education and support to transmen who have sex with men (both other transguys and cisguys). To do this, we put on monthly educational workshops and discussion groups, publish informational materials and continuously work to foster acceptance and build community. Our monthly events are on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month from 7-9PM at Eros, The Center for Safe Sex (2051 Market Street, SF, CA MAP). tm4m is a collaborative effort co-sponsored by Eros, Trannywood Pictures and TRANS: THRIVE (a program of the Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center).

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS WORK
tm4m grew out of community concern for a lack of resources for transmen who play with men. Transmen are not always accepted in gay male spaces and as gay, bisexual or queer men, we don’t always fit in to trans spaces. The result is that some transmen feel isolated or disconnected. It has also been difficult for us to get accurate and tailored information about sexual health and HIV risk. tm4m addresses these gaps by working to build community and create resources for information sharing and education.

February 16th
6pm, Men on the Mat: a new yoga class at Eros for all queer guys, with a special invite to transmen and cisgendered men who have an interest in getting to know each other better. Some wise folk say you never really know another guy until you've chanted OM, gotten a little sweaty with him, and then supported his hips during "Downward Facing Dog." We at tm4m like the sound of that.
Starting February 16th, at 6pm, tm4m is expanding our Thursday night community programming. In addition to our on-going discussions and cruising nights, tm4m will be sponsoring Men on the Mat, bringing guys together, shedding some clothes, getting our bodies and spirits into alignment. Dress code for this class is "shorts required, everything else optional." You do need to bring your own yoga mat. You do not need to be an Eros member to take this class. To celebrate this new group, Eros will spot you a towel for the evening.
Come join us. Get more familiar with your own body and everyone else's, too. This fun, energizing yoga class guarantees satisfaction for you experienced yogis and provides a safe starting point if you've never yoga'd before. Our instructor is Carsten Spencer, who has been teaching Yoga and Meditation for over 20 years. A dancer, singer, actor, director, and playwright, Carsten is a spiritual intuitive and works as a holistic life coach helping people find healing and maintain their "soulmate" connection.
