SCC Atlanta: Southern Comfort Conference
SCC? SCC! Southern Comfort Conference is held each year in Atlanta, GA and continues to be the largest annual get-together of t-girls from across the globe. From those getting out for their very first time - to gals who've lived as women for years - this 'fab event makes everyone feel right at home.
It's Southern hospitality - at its best!
Georgia T-Girls
I was never one to join various organizations and groups designed to support the TV/TS community.
Why not?
I rarely agree with their chosen agendas - or perhaps most succinctly - I don't concur with the politics of how agendas - get carried out. Usually, these organizations begin with a healthy purpose and leadership. However, those people with nothing better to do than complain usually represent the long term membership. That's depressing - to me.
Georgia T_girls is a local group of transgender women and Admirer’s with a clear-cut positive aim: get out and stay connected. In fact? If you don’t attend a function within a year and don’t keep a real on-line profile with a photo? You get booted.
They’re Atlanta’s best source for new trans-girls to develop connectivity.
