Which community do you feel most comfortable hanging out with?

[Forever21Chic]

   I prefer to hang out with straight cisgender men & women. Most of my friends are straight but i don't mind hanging out with gay and lesbian people either. I don't like hanging out with other trans IRL though cuz it reminds me that i'm trans and to be honest i don't wanna get clocked. Sadly i'm starting to feel the same way about online ts communites too.

I like hanging out with people who have a good sense of humor, don't take themselves too seriously, that I have things in common with and who like to have fun.  I could care less about their sexuality, gender identity, ethnicity, height, weight, hair color or accent.  But speaking English helps because I can't speak any other languages.

That is funny - people keep telling me that I should make more trans friends, but aside from the fact that they are a minority to begin with meaning they are difficult to find, the ones I have seen so far have not impressed me at all. They were full of attitude, fake superiority, and parade around on streets at nighttime, whoring it in stilettos and $5 dresses that barely cover their implanted asses. I know they are not representative of the TG/TS community-wide, but I despise it when they flaunt their transsexuality for everyone to see in oversexualized ways.

Out of about 10 transpeople I have known personally, I only really hang out with two of them, and even at that, not much at all.

And why would you feel about that about online TS communities? How would that get you clocked because it is Internet and not in real life?

Really? Then what do you do, hole up at home 24/7 with a laptop? 

almost, I work and then go home and hole up in my room with a laptop.  I also go hiking by myself.

Females bacause I cant get along with males.


If they are genetic females or not doesnt matter as long as I like them as a person.

Hi,

Im a woman accepted as one ,  joined women only groups & world wide , some groups im a member of are mixed. im not trans or a dresser, tho that would have been okay. I S as it is .

I get on   pretty well with others & even some men & that was for myself a struggle  for 50 years,

And in many ways thats because those men are not agresive  just nice men in thier own way. tho i do have male friends that have known me over 54 years.  plus women of cause,

Most of  my friends are women as i relate with them & have for 54 years, as i was growing  up as a kid, to adult,

  Lol sounds like the transwomen at my old support group, always dressed up in tight dresses with cheap shoes tons of makeup and lots of large jewelry pieces....I shudder thinking about it. Our meetings consisted of them preaching their ideals about being trans on a soap box back and fourth to each other (kinda like some of the people here lol) which was followed up by lots of arguing and sometimes even fighting. I think my friend danielle and myself were the only reasonable people there and the only ones that didn't look like drag queens.

  What i meant was it reminds me of being trans which makes me depressed, not to mention all the drama.

Though miming can be fun, especially tiddly miming.

I keep people irl at arms length. I try not to hang out with anybody long enough for them to get close to me.

That said, I like gay people (by which I mean the whole GLBTQIetc spectrum), but I tend more to end up with politically active/change the world types, and also nerds and outdoorsy people.

Having a kid always with me means I end up in lots of contact with other parents, but my daughter and I are apparently not wholesome enough for most of them.
