I have one dood friend who I’ve known since before he pooned out and that’s it. My therapist thought it might be good to meet other LGBT people, but I don’t care for it at all, I think 4tranners are the only ones I could get along with. Generally speaking I try to keep trans shit out of my real life as much as possible and instead vent on the internet. How do you handle this? Do you actively look for LGBT acquaintances? I’d be interested in your stories.

    God, what an awful experience, that’s some predator shit. I’m sorry this happened to you. But yeah, creeps are what puts me off most about the idea.

      but actually all my friends are lgbt just not trannies im sure there are good trannies out there though its just that mainstream trans views make you kinda insufferable but yeah you should go and befriend like a cis lesbian or soemthing

        How would I even do that? Also, what would connect us in the first place? I could at least trauma bond with tranners, but with cis lesbians? Also, don’t they dislike tranners?

          cis lesbians definitely definitely dont dislike trannies they are probably by far the most trans supportive group of cis people as for making friends i fear that im kinda bad at that too unfortunately so i cant really give much advice sorry😓

            Maybe it’s the terf propaganda, but invading lesbian spaces wouldn’t sit right with me. Like I’m something less.

              its definitely terf propaganda but i know how you feel i still use the mens bathroom most of the time because of feeling ashamed of invading womens spaces but still i think you should give it a try i think it will become easier once you get over the initial hurdle but i also have friends who are gay men my best friend is a gay man so maybe you would feel more comfortable trying that

                Or I just try to focus on gigapassing first…then there would be nothing I would fear.

                  i dont think passing would really help with that passing would only stop other people from thinking youre invading womens spaces which generally doesnt happen i think even if you pass you will see yourself as invading womens spaces to some degree

                    Yeah, maybe in an impostor syndrome kind of way, I could see that…I’m very vulnerable to that in general.
