For decades, NWGA has been about several things – peer support, regular fun activities, and education. Our education has included public service agencies and many other organizations on trans*, gender fluidity, non-binary identities, and more.

Now in the early 2020’s, we are finding a new stride in strengthening our mission – our public education offerings, increased advocacy, and community building. All while maintaining our regular and seasonal fun activities!

As of 2018, we’re thrilled to say that our mission will endure for decades more – through our principle partnership with Pride Northwest as our gracious sponsor! Pride Northwest supports many LGBTQ+ organizations in elevating, advocating, and truly transforming lives in tangible ways–large and small. We’re so very grateful for the investment they’ve made in us!

The Northwest Gender Alliance (NWGA) is based in Portland, Oregon. The NWGA is a non-profit social, support and educational group for trans individuals, historically for those who identify themselves as transgender (TG), transsexual (TS) or as crossdressers (CD). The NWGA is open and affirming of all gender, sex, and sexual identities, and we welcome MTF / transwomen, FTM / transmen, androgynous or gender-variant individuals, and intersex community members. The group, traditionally a “club,” holds monthly open meetings and sponsors a variety of transgender social functions throughout the year. They provide educational forums for public and private organizations or individuals interested in learning more about trans experience and the gender spectrum. Their members find support, understanding and acceptance on a one-to-one basis from others who face the similar challenges in life. They welcome new and diverse members.
