Upcoming event with Trans Chicago at the Puerto Rican Cultural Center!

A screenshot from an Instagram post’s description. The text reads “@transchicago Hey y’all! So excited to announce that we have partnered up with artists Frida and Dani!!

The image is of a digital art poster. The text reads “Trans Chicago. Sewing workshop, Frida Benitez. February 5th, 3 to 5 pm. 2753 W Division. RSVP! Link in bio.” Most of the text is in a bubble font. There are hearts throughout the image, with a big heart shape in the center that has a needle stitching thread around the edge of it.

I am in no way affiliated with the event, but figured I’d share here on Bluesky: Trans Chicago is having a free event for clothing swaps, gender affirming haircuts, and free HIV testing! #trans #queer #transchicago #queerchicago #freeeventsinchicago

A colorful and cartoony-style graphic reads “Trans Chicago Pop-up Closet & Gender-affirming haircuts. Saturday, Jan. 18, 2 to 6 pm. Address 2753 W Division St. Tabling by Cannabis Equity Illinois Coalition. Shout out to our volunteers: Z and Nathan! Free HIV test!”

The graphic shows a picture of the two volunteers: Z is wearing a necklace, large thin rimmed glasses, and has his black and green hair parted into curtain bangs. Their facial hair is styled as a goatee. Nathan has light blonde buzzed hair, large thin rimmed glasses, and is wearing a large coat and a scarf.
