The shifting bothers me only from time to time. There are those times when it reminds me of just how isolated I am. There's a trans group that meets really close to home here. I emailed the leader asking if androgynes were welcome, and the reply was yes. Though, there aren't any in the group at this time; I'd be the only one. I haven't actually gone yet as I feel like I'd be crashing at party. The membership of this group is primarily MtF.
There is a trans group not far from where I live too, but I've never really bothered to get involved with it. I don't think it's so much because I'd feel like a party crasher though, it's just that I've never really been one for joining clubs and attending organized social events of any kind. For a while I went through the feeling isolated and alienated thing too, but the truth is I'm a rather solitary person by nature anyhow. I've also come to the conclusion that whatever loneliness issues I
do have probably have little to do with my gender issues and are just the standard existential stuff that everybody experiences. Realistically, I'm probably no more alienated and / or isolated than the average cisgendered person.
