For me it all depends?
Where so you live? I have found a few friends shopping at Value stores and yes bars, but you need to be careful.
Love Vegas.
As Prene has indicated depends where you live.
Most years I have posted an offer on the forum for anyone who perhaps was a first time out and looking for support or a more experienced out and abouter wishing to meet others, to meet up at an LGBT friendly location.
Some years no replies. This year met up with two others.
I always make the meeting point somewhere public. That's for everyone's safety.
Having met the 3 of us went shopping together for the afternoon and then spent the evening chatting in a pub.
Alternatively you can Google LGBT support groups either local to you or a town you're familiar with if you're nervous about being seen where you live.
If you do post an offer here be clear as to what you intend to do. Choose a venue you're familiar with, do your homework. Are there hotels near-by that some could stay in enfemme. Things like places to get changed if someone needed to travel in drab, car parking close by so someone out for the first time hasn't got far to walk. You need to be a facilitator if dealing with 1st timers.
It's not as hard work as it sounds and the rewards make it worthwhile.
CDs can be found wherever second-hand clothes are sold.
If you have a Pride center in your area, many of them host CDer support and/or social nights on a regular basis. You may want to check out that option.
Meetup.com - there are quite a number of local groups that gather in cities around the US.
In just about any LGBT Gay bar or club in the country?:hugs:
Some good recommendations here. I would add checking out Fetlife.com. It's a popular site for crossdressers in places where networking options are limited, and it's a lot more than some kind of hookup site.
You might check out adultfriendfinder and don?t count out meetup sites like Grindr and Tinder. They have a reputation as meat markets but is you are clear about what you are looking for and don?t mind ignoring/deleting a bunch of inquiries that don?t apply then you can connect with like minded folx.
When I was looking to get back into the local scene, I went to my local makeover salon that caters to the LGBTQ community.
There I found out about multiple social groups in the area and went to a meeting and later joined.
If you are not in a major metropolitan area, most small town college campus have transgendered resources to investigate.
Search for P-Flag, GLAAD, Campus PRIDE, LGBTQ friendly places, and LGBTQ resources...that should get you looking in the right direction, where ever you live.
If you're near a big city, look at meetup.com.
Steffi is correct, we have met, and it is through groups on meetup.
There are events for CDs where you will meet tons of others. But you might meet one or two on this website. Check some of the other sections here like: Places to go, places to meet - upcoming events etc.
Fetlife as others have mentioned is free to join.
Hahahaha Angela that awesome. I needed a chuckle this morning!!Quote:

Good answer. I love shopping at thrift stores.
I honestly would suggest fetlife, there are some great people there that can help a lot and are willing to meet, of course talk about what you want first!!! Haha
Yes. I've met a few folks in person via FetLife, and I do recommend the site.Quote:
