I'm looking for a couple groups in the VA Area(MTF). Also liking for lgbt friendly areas. I went to a group once got shy and didn't come back. I think its probly something worth exploring with the feelings I'm having. Any help would be great.

Northern VA is the more progressive area of the state, but it's very expensive here. Richmond is also good for trans folks. I don't know that I would want to live anywhere outside of those areas if you're specifically looking for friendly areas. Don't know anything about groups.
