Former Home of The Gender Identity Center

The Gender Identity Center was organized in 1978 as a nonprofit supporting anyone with a gender-variant identity or expression. Services were available to all people of all genders, as well as their partners, families, and friends. The GIC operated out of several locations over the years. The first location was in the Highlands area of Denver at 3715 West 32nd Ave.
The GIC offered social support and clinical services specific to the transgender community. Social support services listed in their newsletters included discussion groups for young men, spouses and significant others, new women, male-to-female transitions, and teens. Workshops included fashion, make-up, voice, and movement, as well as guest speakers who discussed gender affirmation surgery, hormones, and gender identity.
In 2018, after some financial difficulties, the GIC was reformed as the Transgender Center of the Rockies.
TCR is now located inside Mile High Behavioral Healthcare at 3460 South Federal Boulevard.
