looking at your pics, i am unable to even imagine you as anything other than a cute girl ✨🎀✨

and i’m completely serious about my envy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

i think i’m starting to unravel my attachment issues and the reasons i pull away from those i love

OMG WTF!!!

HOW are you this GORGEOUS?!?

that figure! the long thick flowing hair! those legs! and then the dress, bow, and socks to show it all off!!

my envy burns 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

(seriously wtf, you are ✨gorgeous✨)

Have you been in a codependent relationship?

i can tell you about my last relationship privately, but it was obviously very different to your current situation

LGBTQ people are some of the most caring, sweet, and loving people

without question, i know this to be true of you

Just get started and follow what calls you

as you unearth your true self and undergo the journey into that unsettling unknown, don’t let the uncertainty upset your unending urge for authenticity and self actualization

i send you love 🪄✨💖💜💗💜💖✨

i wouldn’t call that a weapon, in the context that it was used. more of a specialty tool and now a symbol.

at this point, i’m not planning to go. i have no one to go with me, don’t own or feel comfortable having a weapon, and live in a generally unsafe place (Louisiana). i’ll attempt to go to a support group next month. right now i have no one.

god i would love that so much. maybe one day ❤️

i still don’t even have a Blahaj. i would much rather cuddle with a person though.

i’ve never gone, and this encapsulates some of my many fears and doubts.

i’m really sorry that happened to you, and i hope that you have real friends in your life now that are there for you ❤️

i don’t think i’m gonna go to public events, but i did at least find a local support group, and i’m gonna try to go there.

(idk when, or even if, i can return to the matrix side; i don’t know why. but i wanna make sure y’all know i’m okay.)

wanna talk about it? i feel like i’m in a similar emotional state right now.

Are you planning to go to any Pride events? You don’t have to be out. Typically, everyone is welcome.

Thank you for making this community ❤️

I hope that Nev has something to share here soon 💝

I’ve checked out fetlife, but it unfortunately requires javascript, which is a hard pass from me. I don’t feel comfortable accessing sites that block users like me. The reason that I use kbin/mbin is because it does not require javascript at all. Account creation and use of the platform are free from that requirement, giving me a better user experience and increased privacy.

Thank you for the suggestion though ❤️

note to self: trans text does not render on mbin

I appreciate the recommendation, but there really aren’t any mobile apps that are compatible with my Librem 5 phone. I run Linux, and I’m not comfortable running “traditional” apps that contain surveillance malware and engage in data harvesting. Social websites generally tend to require too much personal information, and so I feel banned from those platforms. I’m very glad to have access to the fediverse. Without it, I would have nothing.

I’m going to try to go to Pride events for the first time in my life and see if I can find anyone.

Well I’m thankfully close to the Greater New Orleans Area, instead of being totally isolated from blue cities. As a last resort, I might try to work up the courage to go to Pride stuff this year, but I’m so nervous of large crowds of people and evereything being recorded for social media now. If it weren’t for all of the cameras, I might actually be able to find LGBTQ+ people during carnival time.

Thank you for the luck 🍀 😊

Thanks cowboy, and yes it’s been nice.

Thank you for the reminder for myself and others that read this thread. Yes, I am aware of the dangers and the necessity of public meetings, and I’d probably bring a family member with me if I actually find someone here to meet.

Thank you for the well wishes and support.

You’re in southeast Louisiana? Do you happen to use Matrix? I’d rather not join things like Discord if I can help it, and I’m not really a gamer. My laptop probably couldn’t handle running steam anyway.
