-====== Spirit Level ======
+Spirit Level is a transgender peer-to-peer support group in Liverpool. It has been around a long time and its members have a lot of lived experience of being trans in Liverpool. It's a great way to meet other trans people, make new friends and find yourself.
-Spirit Level is a P2P group in liverpool, they have been about a long time and are a peer led group with a new leader nominated each year.  Generally most meetings revolve around various political issues and discussions on how things can be improved within the community. After meetings, people generally go to a pub where many one-to-one conversations take place.
-Spirit Level is a great way of meeting other trans people and gaining a social group. It is also a great way of discovering yourself.
+Its meetings are informal and mostly based around what people want to discuss or ask questions about, discussions on how things can be improved both within the community and in the Liverpool region. It has occasional guest speakers suggested by the members and discussion around particular topics. It is the lead organiser for the Trans Day of Visibility in March each year. After meetings, people generally go to a pub where many one-to-one conversations take place.
+The group mainly discusses the issues facing the trans community in Liverpool but will happily discuss more personal things like hate crime, access to hormones and other clinical services, feminization and so on.  It is mostly trans-women who attend but is open to transmen and those who are intersex, gender-fluid, -curious or incongruent.
-The only major criticism of the group is it does tend to be slightly more political than focussed on support.  The group is at the time of writing mostly a trans-woman group with no trans-men in attendance.
