Hey guys.

I was wondering if you could suggest any good platforms for me to communicate with other transguys (other than this one, which I do appreciate a ton, I would like to expand the circle a little bit more).

I need a place to vent when I´m dysphoric and people around me who "get it" when I have raging anxiety.
On Facebook there´s a public group but I´m not comfortable with my posts being seen by all my friends - and there´s some other popular groups but they seem to be by topic (women who love transguys, american transguys) (I´m not American...).

I´ve popped in and out of chat a few times but I never saw much ftm related talk so I kind of kept on the sideline.

I´d appreciate any suggestions.

Hey there,

My suggestions would be Facebook, Tumblr, and ->-bleeped-<-.

The FB group I would specifically suggest is FTM Moderated. I'm not sure if the admin still hangs out here, but he keeps it monitored. In addition, it's a Secret group. So not only does it not show up anywhere on your page, it isn't even searchable. Invite only. So unless your friends are transgender men, they have no way of gaining access to it.

Tumblr doesn't really lend itself to group convos, but there's a pretty healthy trans community there. Track the FTM tag, follow some guys, talk to them. Everyone I've ever spoken to has been friendly.

On ->-bleeped-<-, the FTM sub->-bleeped-<- is very good. Lots of good discussion, info, links, and post-op folks who are willing to talk about their experiences.

But yeah. That's what I've got. If you'd like an invite to the FB group, send me a PM and I'll get you in.

Thanks,

I inquired on a Dutch transgender group (where nothing ever happens) if somebody could help me network a bit, which actually resulted in some suggestions for other groups.

Most of them are private so impossible to find  And then there´s a lot of groups that are not moderated at all (and I really have no interest in Ray Ban sunglasses or a cheap mortgage ). The one you mentioned sounds good. I´ll send you a PM.

I might check out ->-bleeped-<- and Tumblr.

-there is a FTM chatroom on susans.
If there is not much traffic, what about making fixed times where people could meet ?
Every day at 7 p.m EST for example...
or two meeting times a day for people from other time zones...
maybe a moderator could add the times to a description of the chatroom, for example...

Good to know. I'll keep in mind for the future.

It´s nice if it´s a bit mixed with the ages, I turn out to be about 15 years older than the young transgenders. haha. 

Fixed times could work, if there were enough participants, maybe?
I´m at a six hour difference from you guys though.  might be tricky. You guys live in the past!

I wasn´t aware that there was an FTM chatroom. Going to have a better look.

Seconding the ->-bleeped-<- suggestion. I've posted a bit in the FTM sub (->-bleeped-<-.com/r/ftm/) and I've found everyone there to be really supportive as well as fairly diverse in terms of ages and experiences.

i was thinking of setting up meetings on skype or oovoo with other trans guys to talk and vent too, if you ever need someone to talk too, dont be afraid to hit me up
