And it was so much fun! It built so much confidence. I feel like I can take on the world!  :laugh:

It was really liberating and just great, all around. I live in the Orlando area, and the place where I went was at the glbc center (glbcc for short). So if any girls (or guys) from there is reading this, say hi!

Tomorrow there is a trans-night at a local gay bar. It's their first trans-night, they often do drag queen events and stuff. Girls get in free. I plan to go. Might wear a new dress I bought just for the occasion.

Yeah, it was just greeeaaatttt. I wish I started going there sooner.

Sounds fun.  I might go a couple times just to see what it's like. ;)

They are great when you first come out.  Like minded people who understand.  But, personally as you grow, you get to the point that you just want ti be in the rest of the world as you.

Have fun, make friends.

Well let me know, and I'll watch for you. You can sit next to me ^.^ It's a very friendly atmosphere. People drive in from all over.

I'm sooooo happy right now. Just being accepted by a group of people. It feels so.... SOOOO good. I can't even explain the happiness I feel. It's inward, and it's just bubbling out. I've never really felt this kind of happy.

I know that sounds cheesy, but I can't explain it. It's something I've felt like I've been missing my whole life.

I'll be in the Orlando area next week for Thanksgiving. Thinking about moving there after the divorce to get some space to just be me for awhile. My mom and sister live there as well as a very good friend from high school. Where is the glbc center and when do they have meetings?
and i know that i'm never alone
and i know that my heart is my home
Every missing piece of me
I can find in a melody

Every other Tuesday from what I understand. The meetings are downtown, off of Mills, close to Colonial. The website is here: http://www.thecenterorlando.org/

Sorry to butt into the mtf board just wanted to say it's the first 3 Tuesdays of every month. Some of them are full time groups, some part time but mostly the regulars seem to go to every meeting. I didn't go yesterday, I'm sorry I missed meeting you. The people there are incredible :)
