Support group meeting experience

[Allison Chaynes]

I posted this in another thread, but at the risk of offending, I am sharing it here also.

I went to a TG group meeting in Memphis a few months ago. Though most of the girls were welcoming, one insisted on belittling theists and those not agreeing with her politics. Oh, and kept on laughing when I said I was a CD, mentioning three or four times that night, "You'll understand more when you transition." The rest of the ladies were nice, helpful, and enjoyable to talk to. One individual didn't ruin the night, more of an annoyance.

I went to a support group meeting recently for the first time and I was really uncomfortable.

THat was my experience as well. Even though I knew all the folks there had a similar problem to my own, in the back of my mind I knew that they were all men, and I always had a strong distrust of males. I still haven't gotten past that. Add that to the way my ex wife turned on me, I fear telling women things as well. Leaves me......quite alone most of the time.
