Thank you Chrissy,  I was able to find a local support group via one of the groups that you listed above. I truly appreciate your assistance.  I am so grateful that I found this place. Since I have been here, I have really felt so welcomed and have really become to like the warmth of this place. I reached out to the group and they have virtual and in person meetings once a month. I was hesitant at firt and still am, but now I know where to go. I am thinking of starting to go to the virtual meetings at first.  This is a big step. As I have never told anyone in person other than my therapist about my transition.  So I registered fo a virtual meeting May 1st. As I like say "Keep pressing onward, there's no time to look back".
