Hey.
I could do with talking to someone, preferrably a professional of some sort that actually knows something about ->-bleeped-<-.
I've seen psychiatrists and stuff locally, but they haven't got a clue and I'm currently awaiting an appointment with a new counsellor. The NHS takes aggeees though.
I've been looking around for support groups, but there aren't many that I can get to easily. Plus new people scare the crap outta me

So yeah, I don't really know where else to go. Maybe if there's like any groups where I can just talk to someone, rather than being a group or whatever, that'd be good.

I live in Buxton by the way. So the easiest city for me to get to is Manchester

Cheers

Hiya!

I'm one of the guys who runs MORF, the group for trans guys in Manchester - I just joined the site today and saw your post, so figured this was as good a place to start posting as any. I get what you're saying about not liking new groups of people, but we're a friendly bunch of guys, honest! I'd be happy to meet up with you for a coffee or something, maybe with one of the other guys who runs the group, so you can get to know us a bit before coming along if you like. We meet on the fourth Monday of the month, and have a different topic at every meeting. We have a website with details of all the meetings on it as well.

Let me know if you want to know any more, and if I can help in any way I'll be happy to!

Hi flameboy. As an old Warrington girl (girl now girl then girl always) I was so delighted by your group's name that I checked out the MORF webpage. It sounds as if Gizzy has hit paydirt there. So good.

May I just say, I've never heard the term FTU/female to unknown, but I think it's a good one to have. The fluidity of gender should be able to find a myriad of forms and non-forms. Oops, I'm beginning to sound like an old hippie.

Thanks minniemouse!

We do try to be as inclusive as we possibly can - most of the guys who come along ID as FTM, but I guess that's always likely to be the case. Oh, and there's nothing wrong with being an old hippy btw I guess you're not in Warrington any more then?

Hey, would just like to say thanks for the replies and that.
MORF sounds pretty awesome actually, although I'm not sure I have the guts to go, haha.

Gizzy - our next meeting, on Monday 25th May (Bank Holiday Monday) is open to SOFFAs (significant others, family, friends and allies) as well, so you could bring a friend or someone with you if you want.

Also, I really do mean that if you want to hook up for a coffee or something sometime I'd be happy to meet you somewhere - that way, you'd at least know me before coming along to a meeting.

PM me if you want to meet up or anything and we'll sort something out mate!
