What kind of folk are you friends with? (ts-edition)

[cerealnmuffin]

In my university program, there are many like-minded people who celebrate diversity and tend to be more open-minded.  Most of my friends are online though, a friend even flew all the way from Australia to spend a week with me.  I know a lot of people, but many times I feel really alone since it is always a big to do, to arrange get togethers... just wish somebody would just call me up to just hang out. I'm stealth to half my friends.

It is an ecletic group, though I wish I had more mtf friends.  Sure I know a bunch on the web and a few hour drive away, but I really wish there was another transgirl here where we could be like best of friends, watch movies, shop, and have someone in person to talk to about trans stuff. I feel lonely, like im the only trans girl in my twenties here.  I know quite a few ftm's in person though.

My friends are mostly just people who are into the same things as I am.  Entirely cisgendered.  I don't have any trans friends.

I've got... hm, maybe one trans friend right now? I live in San Francisco. Go figure.

I hang out with everybody, although my primary group of friends are all cisgendered and mostly women.  I do have some really close male friends, a couple awesome gay friends, a couple lesbian friends, some really cool drag kings, and some fierce drag queens.

I hang out with whoever is cool.  Some people knew me from before, some people don't.  Either way, none of them care.

Hey!  You stole my topic!!!  haha. I kinda feel honored.

I used to have a lot of trans friends, and it honestly got a little mentally exhausting sometimes.  My ex-girlfriend is trans, and we would often hang out with another MtF mutual friend of ours, and then the 3 of us would go to the bar night that was called Formerly Known As, where a third of the people were trans or non-binary in some form or another.  There were also a few trans guys we would hang out with occasionally.

It would get to the point where it was trans everything all the time, and trying to change the subject would loop back into trans stuff, and Arrrgg!! I was glad to also have a group of hetero cis friends that didn't overlap (much) with my trans friends to keep things "normal".

Of course I did, it gave me some food for thought and I acted on it.

Most of my friends are biologist that I see regularly at school and continues to social events (a pretty even mix of guys and girls, although I am closer with the girls).  I have one really good trans friend, and sometimes I attend the local meetings of the trans association with her.   I have made friends at my yoga studio (girls and typically gay guys), and I have a bunch of biologists friends on the other side of the country at my old school.  I also keep in contact with a group of friends from high school which are all married couples, many with kids. 

I often consider myself lucky that I have been able to surround myself with so many good people.
Jenna!

Friends?  What are those?  The ones with big shiny blades they so viciously thrust into your back when it is turned?  Seriously, the only two friends I have are my guitar and the words that I sing.  On a higher note, I guess I am my only true friend as I am the one who truly loves and cares for me
