Maybe one of these groups and resources could be of help.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

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".
