The Gender Dysphoria Support Network (GDSN) is an international group that aims to offer support to families of individuals affected by gender dysphoria. Our support network recognises the difficulties presenting the person with gender dysphoria and also recognises that friends and families can be in need of emotional understanding and support.

The GDSN offers support groups to relatives and friends so that they can share their experiences in order to resolve common challenges. The main purpose of the GDSN is to help families that have been impacted by gender dysphoria. We do this by meeting regularly and by providing information, understanding and encouragement to our members. We meet in small groups so that everyone has a chance to speak.


The GDSN is not allied with any religion, sect, denomination, political entity or institution.

Meeting Times

The GDSN provides online peer support meetings for families that have been impacted by gender dysphoria.
