For many years we had a local support group that was affiliated with Tri-Ess. That program began to fade as we became more of a diversity group with members who had started to transition or weren't straight. We lost that national connection and support, then Covid eliminated the chance to meet in person. I met a lot of great people and built the courage to extend my comfort zone. Although I'm well into my transition, I've spent ten times longer as a crossdresser than I have as a transgender woman. It's time to revive some support for that community and it seems like a good idea to me. But I could be wrong. Things have changed rapidly and a lot over the last several years, so I'm looking to this larger community for advice.
I recently started working with the local Pride Center and while they have programs for every other group under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, the one missing is something for crossdressers. Do you think this is something you would take advantage of if it were available in your area? What would attract you to participate and what would keep you away? Have the general conditions in the wider world made this kind of outlet meritless or is there still value.
I look forward to your input as we ponder this possibility.
