RULES WE FOLLOW

  1. Brunch is by invitation only. If you just show up, you will not be welcome to join us. Monday Night Tgirls cast members are automatically invited.
  2. We invite people based on their personality and how well it meshes with ours. It would be helpful if you could meet us at one of our evening events first.
  3. Both tgirls, friends of tgirls, and tgirl admirers are welcome. People uncomfortable being in public are not.
  4. Dress for the situation. Everyone in my group wants to pass, so any thrillseeking newcomer who sticks out like a sore thumb and thinks that "strength in numbers" will protect his or her bizarre tastes will never again be invited to future brunches.
  5. We go everywhere: shopping, restaurants, museums, movies or theater, or just walking around the city interacting with people and places as ourselves. If you would like us to consider you, you must first be comfortable going to these places by yourself as a woman.
  6. You must pay for your own expenses, such as food and drinks, tickets to events, etc. We may go to nice places where money is no object.
  7. Those of you who are seeking a safe, accepting environment where you can dress almost any way you please should go to my Monday Night Tgirls party.

Question & Answers

When are your Tgirl Brunches held?
See the top of this page for the latest information on our next two brunches. Please read the rules section at the top of this page.

Are guys allowed to attend the Tgirl Brunches?
Yes, guys are allowed to attend so long as they behave in a gentlemanly manner. You are responsible for your own expenses plus 7% tax and 20% gratuity. This is not a free opportunity to usurp anyone's time, so be sure to give every girl equal attention.

Is there a way we should dress for every Tgirl Brunch?
Every restaurant has a dress code. Some restaurants allow all manner of casual attire, such as jeans and sneakers. Others require more formal wear. As a group, we do not want to associate with anyone who sticks out like a sore thumb. Contact me if you have any questions as to what to wear, but only if you are definitely coming to the brunch.

What is a Debutante Brunch?
My philosophy in life has always been to never limit yourself to the kinds of places you can go. There is a much higher level of class, quality, and service at a five-star restaurant than your average one. If I were single and hung out more frequently with all of my highly successful transgendered friends, you can bet I'd be going out to five-star restaurants every week with everyone who could join me. The Debutante Brunches are held twice a year so that everyone has an opportunity to save up their resources and participate.
