RSVPs, who this group is for, and timing
Attendance is limited to RSVP’d people ONLY.
No RSVP, no guarantee we’ll have a spot for you. Please RSVP if you are coming!
This group is for transgender people only. If you are trans, on the trans identity spectrum, however you define it, this is a spot for you. If you are a cis person (someone who ID’s as their gender assigned at birth), this is not the spot for you. I host open groups sometimes, but this is not that.
Early arrival is ok, 9pm is a hard stop! :)
Parking n' bussing:
There is street parking available on Willoughby, Poinsettia or Fuller. Trader Joe’s Parking has been used in dire situations (7310 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood CA 90046), my place is a short walk from there.
The 4 bus (along Santa Monica bl) has a stop by Trader Joe's at Santa Monica and Fuller. The 212 bus (along La Brea) has a stop at La Brea and Willoughby. The 10/48 buses (along Melrose) also have a stop close to us, at Melrose and Poinsettia.
Text or Call (908) 391-1681 when you’re at the gate and I will come get you!
Dress Code:
Undies on at MINIMUM.
Shirts, Pants, Bras, Binders off is ok.
Shoes OFF at the door please :)
Athletic/Athleisure recommended, avoid stiff garments like jeans!
COVID Policy:
Masks Required
Masks pulled down briefly to eat is ok (We do overlap with dinner, so you can bring something to munch!)
Mask Off is also allowed if you’re tying the mouth.
KN95 Masks available if you don’t have one.
The A/C and/or Windows will assist in airflow. Thanks for helping us keep this space safer :)
Sexual Contact / Consent Policy:
This is a STUDY group. So please –
No explicitly sexual touch.
No fucking, obscene gestures, weird staring, you get it.
Ask for pronouns if you’re unsure, use them once you’re sure.
Ask before touching anyone’s body or belongings. Don’t be weird.
House safe-word is “RED”
We WILL kick you out if you cause a problem or run afoul of any of the above stated rules.
Self Tying is welcome and celebrated, mingling is heavily encouraged.
*For those new to kink spaces – using the house safe word means an immediate pause in whatever situation you’re in. A long-term attendee of study group (but probably carter, lol) will be the acting Dungeon Monitor (DM), and will facilitate communication and safety: cutting people out of ropes, physical separation, etc.The safe word is your safety kill switch to use if you need it.*
Photo Policy:
Photos are OKAY. NO unconsenting participants (including in the background).
Please check the background before taking a photo, ensure only the subject is in frame.
If you post it, please tag me!! :) @trans.ties or @sillypvnk on insta, @sillypvnk everywhere else
Food n’ Drink:
Cheap sodas (sometimes) and tap water available.
Bring your own snacks and drinks if desired.
NO alcohol.
About the Event:
Mats are pre-set across the floor.
Bring ropes if you have them. I will have some ropes for those who don't. Bring safety shears if you have them. My ropes are hemp so not good for those with grass-related allergies.
Safety Shears are scattered throughout the space.
Small TV-Computer setup for tutorial videos to follow.
Rig is available as a hard point for suspension. (ONLY available for those with prior suspension experience. If I’ve never seen you suspend before, you gotta prove basic skill to me first by safely suspending the rock I have.)
Cat Policy:
For those that are new, I sometimes foster baby kittens! Policy for handling them is:
Mister (biggest), Ramen (medium, fluffy) and Braid (medium, sleek) can have free run of the house as long as they behave and don't chase the ropes. They're very kind. No hand washing required.
Little animals live in a box on the counter, or live in a box on the floor. Please wash hands before handling baby animals from the counter. No need to wash hands before handling baby animals from the floor!
Can’t wait to see you!! Message me if you got questions. :)
