TRANS DYNAMICS
FIGHTING AGAINST ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION BASED ON GENDER IDENTITY, GENDER EXPRESSION, AND/OR SEX CHARACTERISTICS IN MOROCCO
Trans Dynamics (TD) is an unregistered organization by and for Trans people in Morocco.
Founded in 2018, TD is the first and only trans-specific organization based in Morocco.
OUR WORK
T4T Social Support and Community Wellbeing
We provide trans people in Morocco with emergency housing support, resources, and peer-to-peer guidance. We organize trans-only social events and support groups to promote the social and mental wellbeing of trans folks and to foster solidarity and interdependence within our community.
Community Organizing and Capacity Building
We host workshops and events to empower trans Moroccans in leading the struggle for their own liberation. We also strive to build collective power by strengthening our cooperation with allied organizations within the Moroccan Queer / LGBTQI+ movement, and by promoting transnational and regional solidarities, especially in the Maghreb.
Education and Awareness
We create accessible resources and creative social media campaigns designed to educate both our own trans community and the general Moroccan public. We raise awareness about a wide array of topics related to social justice, gender, transness, and systemic transphobia in Morocco.
Research and Knowledge Production
We conduct community-based research projects, document reported transphobic incidents and rights violations, and we collect trans testimonies. Because our community remains invisibilized and its needs ill-understood, we compile crucial data and publish studies that are able to shed light on the conditions faced by trans people in Morocco.
Human Rights Advocacy and Decriminalization
We fight fiercely to secure trans people’s human rights in Morocco (e.g. right to life, safety, privacy, bodily autonomy, healthcare, education, work, housing…). We push for legal and policy change through research-informed advocacy at both the national and international level.
OUR SPACE: L'Majmaa
Trans Dynamics' Lmajmaa (The Gathering) is the first community space exclusively by and for trans, non-binary, and GNC people in Morocco.

OUR VALUES
6 fundamental principles guiding our work:
Our organization is 100% trans-led, and a majority of our activities are not open to cisgender people. We affirm the critical importance of trans-only safe(r) spaces in providing respite from the daily relentless transphobia we face in every other sphere of Moroccan society.
We believe that those most affected by a system of oppression ought to be at the forefront of any struggle to dismantle it. We reject all forms of paternalism, saviorism, and/or cooptation of our movement. There can be no decisions made about our lives, no speaking on our behalf, no money spent in our names, unless there are trans people at the decision-making table!
We oppose all forms of gender policing and gatekeeping, whether from medicolegal state apparatus or from within our own communities. We explicitly reject binarism, transmedicalism, and the pathologization of our identities. We believe trans people are the experts on their own genders. Regardless of how you present, whether you “pass”, whether you’ve had HRT/surgeries, whether you want to do that at all… You are who you say you are!
We seek to build transnational solidarity and strategic alliances with organizations that share our values and commitments to social justice. We are members of several coalitions both nationally and regionally (particularly at the Maghrebi, Mediterranean, and pan-African levels).
We oppose all forms of repression and domination (colonialism, imperialism, racism, sexism, classism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, interphobia, ableism, fatphobia, ageism, xenophobia, religious discrimination, ethnic discrimination, etc.). As a trans-only organization, we still strive to center the needs and concerns of the least privileged among us. We understand that all systems of oppression intersect, thus compounding the suffering of multiply marginalized people.
We are a non-hierarchical organization. We make decisions democratically and by consensus wherever possible. Membership is open to all transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming individuals in Morocco who share our values and want to fight with us for the advancement of trans rights in the country.
