Between Men is a social-support peer group for queer men, including cis men, trans men, transmasculine people, and anyone under the masculine identity umbrella who is gay, bi, pan, toric, queer, questioning, or are otherwise attracted to guys. Between Men is a safe, inclusive space where we can talk openly and honestly about our lived experiences and share our stories to feel heard, respected, loved, and supported.
Together, we can work towards better understanding ourselves and how our intersectionality impacts us, including our sexual orientations, sexualities, gender identities, and gender expressions. By realizing our individual strengths, we can overcome and liberate ourselves from negative belief systems that keep us from living authentically.
Between Men also offers opportunities to socialize, meet new people, make good connections, and have fun amongst supportive and safe company.
This meetup is intended as a space for peer support, casual socialization, and connection. This is not a structured therapy group, business networking event, or dating space. If you are looking for further support, please contact Calgary Outlink (1-403-234-8973). If you are in crisis, please contact Distress Centre Calgary (1-403-266-HELP).
Please note that this meeting is moderated by Outlink staff/volunteers who reserve the right to remove anyone from the group who is in violation of our Safer Space Ground Rules.

In a deeply personal journey, Tys travels across the country to learn from other transgender people about how they create community, home and spaces to thrive.Trans Canada was filmed in the fall of 2025 in various geographical regions in Canada, and with a variety of demographics. The goal was to showcase the lives of "regular" transgender people, so that viewers may see themselves in the subjects.
📽️ Tys Burger is a documentary filmmaker located in Treaty 7. She is most interested in stories about "regular people". She believes in the power of film to connect people, and allow them to see their place in the world.
🎙️Alex Montford (they/them) works with post-secondary students with disabilities and is currently pursuing a Master of Education in Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Calgary.
