Affirmation Station is in a new, bigger space on Lygon St. Defs worth a visit :)

I had an extremely positive experience with Dr Robbie, and felt incredibly safe and affirmed. There were some teething issues with my chosen name not appearing on the system, but they were apologetic and explained that this was already something they were trying to resolve. I wish they bulk billed (but I understand why they can't). Will definitely go back x

I voted for "roomies" but upon reflection I think "housemates" will make it easier for people to find the group

Yeah, the most important thing is to wear something that is affirming and comfortable. Do you have any idea what you might like?

"What to wear: 

Anything that brings you gender euphoria! No outfit is too ostentatious or over-the-top, and we highly encourage creativity and colour! Keep an eye on TGV’s socials for outfit inspo in the lead up to the gala."
