Transgender Adult Chat

NEW! Transgender Adult Chat is a new offering at TGGuide.  You asked and we listened. This is the chat where admirers and transgender people can get together to socialize. Adult images and photo swaps are allowed. Conversations tend to be more adult-oriented. This adult chat has proven very popular and is usually more populated than our support chat. It’s fine. We love transgender admirers too. We just need a special chat room for adult chat and now we have it. Members must be at least 18 years of age. TGGuide Support Chat welcomes all in the transgender community including transexuals, crossdressers, nonbinary, gender-fluid, questioning and all others who identify on the trans continuum.
