There are a lot of trans friendly nightlife options in Charlotte. It just depends on whether you want to meet trans men, women, or both. In this article, I’ll cover the best places to meet trans men and women in Charlotte. Whether you prefer meeting online or in person, this city has a lot to offer.
The good news is, you don’t have to run all across the city, because some of the best trans bars and clubs are located in NoDa or Plaza Midwood. But in many ways, that law now feels like it was a test case for the current phase of the fight over transgender rights — and a preview for the controversies dominating the news today. They often find it difficult to navigate systems that are set up with only two separate gender options (male/female).

She wanted to focus on them but now that they are older and out of the house, she said it's time for her to focus on herself. Hiatt believes that sharing her story could allow someone to be their authentic self. She said not being who you are is a horrible experience and she's looking forward to her future.
Some trans people seek medical and/or legal means to change their assigned birth sex or gender and some may simply identify or present themselves differently than their assigned birth sex or gender.

Charlotte Trans Health is a collective of multidisciplinary healthcare providers committed to gender affirming care through education, community outreach, consultation, and provision of services to the community. Through collaboration, peer education, and consultation, our members strive to increase access to care through enhanced trans-specialized clinical competency of individual healthcare providers and larger systems of care. Education on gender affirming care ranges from limited to non-existent in most clinical programs, thus our providers fill this gap to increase resources and reduce disparities in the Charlotte area. Providers on this list have previously confirmed that they provide trans-affirming care.
In this newsletter, we’ll take a look back at several key points in Charlotte’s LGBT history. Meanwhile, so-called “don’t say gay” bills like in Florida, battles over LGBT-themed books with sexually explicit passages such as "Gender Queer" and the place of trans athletes in sports have dominated the headlines for months. Such an amazing resource for local folx to access services in a safe, accepting, and supportive environment.
That meant transgender women could use the women’s room in most public buildings (transgender men could use the men’s room, but that occasioned much less controversy).

After all, the biggest question in gay rights had just been decided by the highest court in the land.
And we’ve significantly expanded resources related to HIV/AIDS services and added resources that offer support services for trans folks. In recognition and appreciation of grassroots work led by trans folks across the South, this update also includes links to local resource guides. Our Providing Access to Trans Healthcare (PATH) Program also provides free case management, mental health services, and medical care for uninsured and underinsured transgender and gender diverse individuals. This Directory is not an exhaustive list of all trans-affirming providers in the area and may not contain providers or resources for every health issue.
