Honestly my closest connections have been either through my trans support group or just like happenstance meeting someone at the queer/lesbian bar I go to
What do y'all usually talk about the first meeting? I've been to a few and I can never find the groove with any of the conversations, I think largely cause I've lived my entire life until recently as a cishet PMC woman and don't fit the vibe of queer spaces/meetings at all :///
I'll be honest I'm a professional myself. Idk though, I mean when I first came to my group it was like... I was questioning and just talking through things. But I just talk about whatever difficulties I'm having with transition, questions, or whatever. I also have kind of difficulty in some queer spaces too though. I was straight presenting before I transitioned.
Socially? No idea? I mean I came out to my friends 1 year ago. But never tried actually unmasking my gender persona full time until a few months ago.
Strangers largely think I'm just a masc lesbian or something, never a man. Never get socially interacted with like I'm a man except for my trans friends
Mostly my own issues but yea, I don't feel queer or a man at all
Socially I'm still in a weird middle area :/ I definitely feel a lot of what you do from the other side. Don't really feel like a woman, would like to but I just don't. I think most people see me as a fem man or something idk. I get socially interacted with as a queer person basically.
I will say this, going from het presenting to trans is whiplash lol. Also testosterone is a very effective sex hormone, so do give it some time
Happy Early May Day!

How long have you been transitioning?
Hormones, little less than a year

Thanks <3
I feel your pain that people think you're a gem man
At this point, I think I would rather get clocked as a trans man than as a queer woman... but even that is too far for me right now like wtf
