It is with great excitement that Diablo Valley Girls is soon expanding to include more of our diverse transgender community. This will be happening soon! All of our current members will receive notification. Please contact diablovalleygirls@gmail.com for information about the current list of events listed below.
Founded by Donna Freeman and “Just” Janet the DVG community has participated in local transgender focused events for over 40 years. The Diablo Valley Girls has been a social, non-sexual, non-political, and confidential group created for support and fostering community. We have conducted meetings at homes, restaurants, and venues. Our focus will continue to be on supporting those who need to explore their gender identity, especially those who are male to female (M2F).
Under the guidance of our members, we will be announcing the new website soon. This will continue to be for adults twenty-one years old and up. Our members are married or single, and describe themselves as gay, straight, bisexual and queer. We share a common desire to celebrate who we are and to support each other. Our group is open to anyone who identifies as transgender and those exploring their gender identity. We invite partners, family members, friends, and allies to join us. Our spirit of inclusiveness creates a welcoming space where all of our members can enjoy themselves, and be themselves.

About Diablo Valley Girls
Diablo Valley Girls’ (DVG) primary focus is to connect people who share interests and hobbies, without the intention of a romantic or sexual relationship. This site is monitored for content.
DVG was formed to improve the lives of transgender individuals and their families by providing social opportunities, peer support, education, resources, outreach programs, and other services focused on the specific needs of the male-to-female transgender community.
MISSION: Our primary goal is to create opportunities for transgender women to get together and socialize in a personally affirming, safe, and supportive environment. We also strive to raise awareness and understanding of the transgender community through our online presence and our positive interactions with the public at our events. We’re all about changing lives and changing perceptions.
Thinking about “coming out?” Coming out to those close to you can feel like one of the hardest things you will do. Especially to a wife, husband, partner or child. Here are some ideas for coming out to a partner and a child you may find helpful. LINK
There is a lot of political activity surrounding the trans community. It can (and does) feel overwhelming. The temptation to hide and binge-watch Netflix’s is very real and compelling. Although our future may look bleak and those opposing our very existence appear to be in control, we cannot give up hope. For there is hope. We have the hope born from our loving and accepting community. LINK
