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.

    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.

                I wonder how to get over this. I always hoped gigapassing might be the way. Unfortunately my gf says imposter syndrome is generally part of the female experience, many cis women experience it too.

                  most cis women do experience it i think maybe talk about it with your therapist they probably know much better how to fix it than i do
