The Bay Area T-girl / G-girl Mutual Admiration Society was formed to create connections across the spectrum of female identifying individuals -- from genetic women to transgender women. Many genetic women (g-girls, genwomen, bio-women), blessed with a plurality of X chromosomes, appreciate the unique qualities of individuals who do not fit into one of the two traditional gender roles. And many transgender women (t-girls, transwomen, MTF transsexuals, crossdressers, and other Y-chromosome challenged females) yearn to meet genetic women for friendship, support, advice, and companionship. These gender fluid people often express the best aspects of both male and female, while leaving behind the unpleasant behaviors that tend to drive others away.

BATGMAS (pronounced ba-TAG-miss) meetups will focus on facilitating social interaction and leisurely conversation. Thus, we will meet at friendly bars, restaurants, and lounges. Some meetups could incorporate outdoor activities, such as picnics, walks, visits to museums, etc. And to ensure the safety of all, our venues will be those that have previously demonstrated respect and regard for the transgender community.
