I moved to WI from MA in March and have been living with my partner since May. Things are usually good here, though moving in together has come with the expected ups and downs the relationships take, especially fairly new ones such as ours.
I've become somewhat introverted since transitioning, and I wonder if a bit of that is simply because I feel uncomfortable and anxious about my identity at times. I don't think I get clocked and have never had any issues with people aside from an errant glare, so this is definitely mostly internal. In addition to this, I don't have too many friends here yet. The friends I have are mostly other trans women, but I find that our conversations often drift to "transition talk." This talk has its place and I'm more than happy to share our experiences for growth and camaraderie, but I want friends who happen to be trans without that being the basis of our friendship.
Anyway, if you're in WI (Or even IL, MI, or MN), let me know. It's such a vast area of land and I am not terribly sure how to meet anyone.

Hi Aria 🙋♀️ While I do live in California, at the moment I'm in Minneapolis visiting family. It is so beautiful, my wife and I are considering buying a summer home here. Wintering in Baja during the cold in Minnesota. If we do, it would be nice to have a close nearby friend.

Welcome to the land of cheese and bubblers.

I went to college in Appleton and have 65 year old friends in Madison, who are not trans but are accepting, connected and friendly. If you're in that area they might know others closer to your age. PM me if so.
Hi I'm Kelli from Kenosha Wi, I'm a wife who's husband surprised me with the news of wanting to be woman. I'm here hopeing to talk to other wives, but welcome to Wisconsin.
Hello Aria
I just wanted to jump in and welcome you to the area from Upper Michigan.
I live about 50 miles outside of Marquette and if you're up in the area give me a shout or better yet if you're available on the 15th of this month there is the UP rainbow Pride gathering at tourist Park in Marquette.
I personally have just started HRT a couple of months ago and this will be my first time I ever met anyone else under the umbrella, and I'm certain I'll be overwhelmed because I live pretty isolated in the Northern Forest.
If you would consider going, check it out on their website, I believe it's going to be a lot of fun and the college kids are back so it'll probably be pretty crowded for Marquette.
But unless you're in northern Wisconsin it'll probably be a little too far.
But welcome nonetheless.
Take care love, Tatiana
