QTC – Queer & Trans Connections 

Are there any rules?

Building an inclusive and affirming shared space requires that we all work together. We encourage all attendees to share opportunities to speak and to approach conversations with an open mind. Experiences and ideas shared during discussion may be unfamiliar to you or may even be very different from your own. These will be great opportunities for participants to grow and learn together. This is a space of connection, learning, and expansiveness. No one will be an "expert" on any topic. Please also respect the confidentiality of other attendees.

What if I have other questions or suggestions?

If you have an idea for a QTC discussion or if you have other questions, you are encouraged to attend a session and chat with the hosts after the discussion. You are also welcome to contact us.

Queer and Trans Connections (QTC) is a weekly, in-person drop-in for students. QTC will return in Fall 2023 semester.

QTC is open to all University of Toronto 2SLGBTQ+ and questioning students. This program provides an opportunity for 2SLGBTQ+ and questioning students to meet other students, explore identities, look at a range of 2SLGBTQ+ issues through an anti-racist, multi-dimensional lens, share personal and community experiences, and have fun. Snacks, coffee and tea are provided.

Sometimes, QTC features a discussion on a particular topic. Examples of topics include “Navigating spaces on campus as a 2SLGBTQ+ person,” “Trans Futures,” “Racism and colonialism in the 2SLGBTQ+ community,” “Representation in media,” and so much more. Join the conversation and share your thoughts, experiences and questions at QTC!
