Birmingham LGBT has announced it is working with Santi – DIY fashion-ista, LGBTQ+ grassroots organiser and founder and creative director of G(end)er Swap – to deliver two FREE Gender-Affirming Style Workshops for members of the trans community, providing a safe space to find new style resources and experiment with expression.
Birmingham LGBT says: “Fashion and presentation can be an amazing way to relieve dysphoria, and these workshops will be beneficial to both beginners and experienced DIY-fashionistas.
“Attendees will leave with practical style tips and learn DIY techniques to create a gender affirming wardrobe!”
Gender Moods and Fashion Feelings Workshop – Thursday, February, 16 from 6.30-8pm
Express your gender and plan new style visions. Let G(end)er Swap take you on a creative adventure to explore your current gender and fashion feelings/inspiration through collage and mood boarding – with a Q&A forum to round it off. The Gender Moods and Fashion Feelings Workshop is an interactive workshop that celebrates where you are now with a visual that inspires you to look forward to your future self!
Styling Gender Euphoria Workshop – Saturday, February 25 from 1-2.30pm

The event ends with a Q&A forum and free take home resources!
