Best way to find trans female, nonbinary, CD dates, activities and/or friends online? Specifically, IF you’ve had success, what site, organization, etc., was it through?

Magnificent. I’m so jelly.

Wow, that’s amazing. I can’t even imagine that’s so far outside my experience here. What’s your attendance like?
Chrissy Tallflower replied to the topic Sacrifices, Strength, Solitude & Sisterhood in the forum General Chat "Life as it Goes On" 1 years ago
I agree wholeheartedly. But I also strongly suggest taking small steps, no matter how small. Otherwise there is no community to be had. You don’t even need to dress. Keep it platonic, dress in male mode, focus on being an ally first, feel and support others in feeling accepted for everyone’s benefit. Progress is progress, no matter how smal…[Read more]

And, if you are local to me and want to pursue something in the spirit of that last paragraph above. Reach out!

You often hear from CDs, trans individuals of the difficult choices they face in pursuing this lifestyle to any degree, the costs and sacrifices they have to weigh. You hear the troubled stories of those that did show the strength to carry on and faced losses for it. You hear stories of the spouses they came out to and aren’t fully accepted by…[Read more]

I like to play around with poetry on occasion, not that I truly excel at it. But it’s an interesting mental challenge and I love being creative.

Life is not some grand equation
oft it takes more than it gives,
even all we thought we had,
fickle treasures that we reap.Casting fragile truths to shadow,
unraveling hopes into dead ends,
misery is its stock and trade,
a ledger callous to our pains.And so we cut our losses,
move balances, dry tears to try again.
We rail against life’s c…[Read more]Chrissy Tallflower replied to the topic Gathering in Eastern Kansas & Northern Oklahoma in the forum Transgender Friendly Places and Support Groups Around the World 1 years ago
Something like a 6 hour drive to OKC for me too. I’ll probably not bother if I don’t have some friends that want to go with. Otherwise I fear the usual results: you break some ice but it’s harder as a loner, sure you meet great people, but you leave them behind and return home to the same old same old. How much better would it be if you had lo…[Read more]
Chrissy Tallflower replied to the topic Gathering in Eastern Kansas & Northern Oklahoma in the forum Transgender Friendly Places and Support Groups Around the World 1 years ago
Yep. That’s the OKC event. Be cool to meet some peeps ahead of that and/or form our own local, annual gathering in KCMO.
Chrissy Tallflower started the topic Gathering in Eastern Kansas & Northern Oklahoma in the forum Transgender Friendly Places and Support Groups Around the World 1 years ago
I know of a group that meets in Oklahoma City that could make for a getaway (they have a multi-day gathering 2 times a year), but ahead of that, it would be great to meet some people in East Central Kansas, get to know, support each other in developing our look, etc., then head to one of the OKC events (or even make one of our own locally!). …[Read more]

Ah, yes, the waving of the wand fantasy. 🙂 If I had a trustworthy genie give me that option… I’d say yes in a heartbeat. Negatives would be overwhelmed by the joy of it. And I’d probably drive some people crazy after with my… antics:-p

Long story, but will keep it short-er. Started out as an obsession with women, their bodies, their clothes. I had access to a hand me down closet and I started dressing in undergarments from that. I was in a very repressed household so sexuality (of any kind) was taboo to talk about. Being gay or bi or anything other than straight? Inse…[Read more]

Thank you for the warm welcome! I wish CD social clubs were easy to come by locally, to support each other in person and in our development, give advice, model for each other, just do social stuff even. No fair that only big cities really make connections easier if still not guaranteed.
Chrissy Tallflower replied to the topic East-central, KS seeking friends in the forum Introductions & New Members 1 years ago
One parade was in Emporia, KS. I think maybe it was their first. The other two were in fact in Gardner, I think their first 2 as well. So it was encouraging, historic, the people were so very nice and that was wonderful to experience, but yet to result in friendships. I thought a couple might, but they disappeared into the woodwork aft…[Read more]

Thank you for the kind words. I certainly hope I can find some local peeps. My luck has been worse than terrible so far.

I dress mostly in private, but dressed in full for a few LGBTQ pride parades. I am and always have been very short on friends and mostly have to settle for people I don’t identify with as I live in a social wasteland. If you ‘re in my area and in the same boat, reach out. I am not looking for hook ups, but would love some friendlies! Even jus…[Read more]
