Re: LBGTIQ+ Social Space
Im a transmasculine non-binary pal. As of today I have been on testosterone 2 years and couldn't be prouder of how far I've come.
I live in Tassie and theres not many LGBTQ resources here. The sexual health clinics are the best point of call in Tas for all things LGBTQI+

Re: LBGTIQ+ Social Space
@nashyGood morning! I woke up thinking I had a zoom group (I do the ones through ArcVic) but turns out it's tomorrow so now I'm watching a Korean kitten on youtube : )
@Former-MemberThat's a good idea about cards for people who are alone on Christmas! Hopefully things open up by then a bit because I'd really like to volunteer somewhere (I'll be alone too).
Hope everyone has a good day and getting closer to the weekend (if you're working) - I have sushi every Friday lunch so that's something to look forward to...also signed up for this Movement course (it's like dancing and mindfulness) through ArcVic starting today but I think I have to ask them how I "get in" cos I can't figure it out lol

Re: LBGTIQ+ Social Space
Honestly no one offline knows either. i havent really come out but thats alot because i dont really know for sure either. theres so many factors that draw me to other women that sometimes its hard to know if its a romantic/partner relationship sort of thing. i once spoke to someone and they said because of my past traumas with men in particular i may just be drawn to women more because it feels more 'safe' does that make sense?

Re: LBGTIQ+ Social Space
Hi @NatureLover ππ
I don't think it's ever too late. I have/had the same attitude as you but I meet many transmen who transitioned late in life, well into the second half. It's an ongoing journey for me, I haven't come out to anyone apart from my psych. For me it's questioning gender & sexuality. I think we've all been socially conditioned in so many areas of our lives, I never knew there was a different possibility in life.
You could contact qlife.org.au or search Facebook? I found a great group there for the older generation, but it's 'not' for lesbians (I don't want to exclude you, it's just a closed group for transmen). There are also in person groups depending on where you live.
Stay in touch xoxo

Re: LBGTIQ+ Social Space
Hi @TheVorticon
the 'trying to ignore' or 'being completely confused' label applies to me a lot of times. I'm better in saying what I'm not. I'm not identifying as female and I'm not heterosexual. Perhaps they should create a tick box like that on forms.
How does 'trying to ignore' work for you?

Re: LBGTIQ+ Social Space
How did you decide that you wanted to start T if you don't mind me asking? It's a huge question mark for me especially because I haven't disclosed anything to anyone and T would change that, with all the fears coming with that, I find it really difficult.

Re: LBGTIQ+ Social Space
I started T because I wanted to look and sound more masculine. Testosterone makes a lot of changes to your body and that was something I really craved.
