Step into a transformative experience where you can explore, express, and embrace your unique sense of self in a safe and welcoming space!

Whether you’re curious about experimenting with gender presentation, looking to refresh your wardrobe, or simply seeking community vibes, the Gender Blender has something for everyone.

This inclusive event invites you to donate and discover clothing that allows you to play with gender expression in a judgment-free environment. Test out different looks, try on a wig, experiment with makeup, or just revel in the joy of self-discovery.

It is also Trisha’s birthday for anyone who wants to eat some cake and dance it out! She wants to see you in all your glory! Dress as your truest self or go wild experimenting with expression. We are here for it.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? ✨

• A open space full of cozy sitting areas, a dance floor, and relaxed lighting
• A gender-affirming makeup station with the options to make requests or let the makeup artist choose a look for you! Play with shadows and lines, try softening or hardening your jaw, or play with contours in your cheeks. Not sure where to start? Peach will be ready to help you with a splash of color or a full face of contour!
• 25 silent disco headphones where you can choose your groove from three music channels so you don’t have to yell over the music
• Community connections, delicious drinks, and a supportive atmosphere to relax and celebrate yourself.

WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR? 👠

• Anything that makes you feel good, sexy, powerful, or comfortable!
• An open heart and a playful spirit!

WHO IS THIS FOR?🌈
All genders, identities, orientations, and experiences are celebrated here. Whether you’re exploring new facets of yourself, supporting a friend, or just enjoying a fun night out, you belong at the Gender Blender!
