Watch the Small Trans Library Glasgow Instagram for upcoming events!

Dinner and a Movie

Every other Tuesday 6:00pm-9:00pm
The Portal Arts, Govan
We watch a movie and eat some vegan food. It is relaxed, friendly & free. The venue is wheelchair accessible.

Govan Queer Space

Small Trans Library hosts GQS, a trans led event for any queer person to attend. Chill social time with board games and tea. Vegan meals when we have capacity; bread and jam when we don’t.
GQS is available to support queer people to do other things, like DIY classes, sign making, meetings, etc, so get in touch if you think we can help you host something.

Self Defence Classes

STLG hosts John Cowan to provide 4 session blocks of basic self defence, tailored with us to be of specific use to trans people. Spaces are limited, so contact us by email with your interest, and we will email you when each block goes out.

Every fortnight we read a short extract and talk about it! We aim to be accessible to all trans people. Discussions focus on how the extracts make us feel and what they make us think about.
