Club Femme MA debuts offering a new transgender friendly nightclub in Greater Boston

Club Femme MA, hosted at Indian Meadows Country Club in Westborough, MA, is held the second Friday of the month, has a great DJ, a large and excellent dance floor, and a quiet, well lit, lounge for conversation. The club’s focus is on the MtF crossdresser, transgender woman, supporters and admirers.  It’s a space for flirting, having fun, dancing, meeting a new friend and maybe finding romance just like at any other dance club, but, Club Femme MA happens to target the transgender community.  There are a number of population specific dance clubs in Greater Boston most notably Dyke Night leading the way with lesbian targeted nights in Greater Boston, The Neighborhood, a transgender/queer targeted dance club that used to meet the first Saturday of the month at The Midway Cafe and FoRCC Transgender Party which meets at RCC the fourth Saturday of the month.  Club Femme  carries on that style of a themed nightclub.

I visited Club Femme with my friend Paula in May.  Prior to that, I had several conversations with Club Femme’s promoter, Jon. Jon’s been a supporter of the transgender community for some time and told me his motivation for starting Club Femme. He really felt that the Greater Boston area needed a transgender friendly social space for the MtF transgender community, supporters and admirers to feel comfortable mingling together at.  He felt a transgender specific club would be especially helpful to those crossdressers and trans-women who had not had the opportunity to be out in public.

My first impressions?  Club Femme succeeds on most of its goals.  For those gals who like a bit more discretion or are starting to get their confidence up going out in public, Club Femme is really perfect since you will be with other trans-persons in a welcoming environment. If you are out and about in the world, Club Femme’s DJ is worth bringing friends with you to go dancing.  He’s that good and takes requests.  Parking is free and the entrance fee is $15.00, but, given that Boston clubs cost $10 to get in with $15 for parking, the $15.00 is reasonable.  Drink prices were reasonable.
