Gender Adventures: A Trans/Non-binary/Genderqueer D&D Group
Well met, traveler!
From the moment of our birth, we are inundated by societal expectations surrounding our assigned sex that life can end up feeling a bit pre-scripted. But what if you got to write your own story?
Gender Adventures is a therapeutic group for non-binary and gender-queer/diverse people from ages 18-30 that uses Dungeons & Dragons role-playing system as a way to investigate one’s gender identity.
Using the tenets of therapeutically applied role-playing games, you will develop an in-game persona that can be as similar or as different from your real-world self as you desire. While your character heads off to explore dungeons and slay dragons, you’ll have a chance to explore your gender performance and queer identity in a safe and judgment-free environment without changing the dynamics of your daily life before you feel ready to do so.
Overview of Gender Adventures Group:
