If affording the clothing they need is a barrier for attendees, SAAF has also set up funds to help people purchase the clothes they need. Organizers are hoping that this year's theme —"Stars of the Glitter Screen" — will encourage attendees to embrace their inner glam and come dressed to the nines, Cronin said.
On Thursdays, the center hosts a peer night or game night and Fridays are movie nights. The center is open for drop-in hours Tuesdays through Fridays and event listings can be found on SAAF's online calendar. "The community in general is seeing these problems and there's a lot of grassroots things that are happening," Delgado said."They're reaching out for support or advice to get their a little more active, or other community groups are saying let's start our own trans soccer group."
