Moltaqa: The Forum
What is Moltaqa?
Moltaqa is a private, community-moderated forum created for trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive individuals to connect, share experiences, and support one another. The space is intended exclusively for those who identify as part of the trans spectrum or who are actively exploring their gender. Applications from individuals who do not identify with these experiences will not be accepted, or if a misrepresentation is discovered, accounts will be removed to preserve the safety and integrity of the forum.
How is it different from the Sanad website?
While the Sanad website offers resources and guides, Moltaqa is a space for ongoing discussions, connections, and peer support. It includes features like topic threads, a mobile app, and strict privacy protectors.
How do I join Moltaqa?
You will need to fill out a short sign-up form, and once approved, you’ll be able to participate in the forum.
