Katey, I've only been out three times and all three began with some kind of TG meeting. The first time I wont count because I was very nervous. But now I simply do what most of the friendly warm ggs I have known do... I give them as big warm smile, say " Hi, I'm Samantha!", and put out my hand and offer a slightly softer more gentle handshake than I would with a guy. I know how nervous I was the first time I met another girl, and how much it put me at ease when someone was warm and outgoing toward me, so I try to do the very same thing. And its real...I am glad to meet them. All of them. I know some girls only want to make friends with other girls they think are passable, but I dont feel like that at all. I was closeted for too long, and I have a lot of deep empathy for how hard it is for some girls to feel comfortable. It is just my way of paying it forward, you know?
I want them all to feel good and beautiful and glad they came.
