As I continue to socially transition, I am wondering where the more mature gals are congregating if at all. I suspect many are partnered and don’t go out quite as frequently as the younger gals. We live in a city that has so many welcoming LGBTQ friendly venues, but I don’t see as much representation from the older Transgender community when I am out. Perhaps it’s just poor timing.

I am excited about all of the Pride events next month and hope to make more friends along the way. I am not a gamer, but have many other interests.

Edit: This is not request for opportunities to date. This is solely for building a circle of friendship with others to socialize.

I went to Courtney Barnett last night at the Palace theater! Had an amazing time. We were surrounded by community and really enjoyed the vibe, music and experience! When I saw she was coming to town and it just happened to coincide with my 5-year HRT anniversary I knew I had to go. Her music has helped me a lot over the years. Well when I was leaving going back to the parking ramp I walked up to the elevator and it was pretty much full so I hesitated to get in... Two people smiled and made room and a woman exclaimed "oh he can fit".... figured after 5 years I wouldn't get misgendered, especially with how pretty I felt and how it never seems to happen anymore. So now I keep trying to remember the good vibe of the show last night and my brain keeps flipping back to that.

I'm moving to the twin cities fairly soon because I'm going back to school and want to finish my last year of this degree or at least my last semester in person. It might be a while, 3+ months, so we'll have some time to get to know each other before I get there/verify that we are who we say we are if we hit it off.

I'm ~30 so 27-34 is my preferred age range, but if you're a little older or younger than that it's cool.

I cannot emphasize enough (bc this is the internet) that I am married and just looking for friends. I'm FtM from an area with practically no trans community so if you're transmasc, it would be so cool to know more people who are.

Hmu if you're looking for friends too! Even if we don't get along it never hurts to see.

Edit: I have some additional info in the comments now because I overthought this to the point of being vague af as someone pointed out. Absolutely please ask questions there and not my DMs, I'm not the best at figuring out what to say about myself all the time.

Edit #2: oh it hasn't been said but I am a hockey fan! I've been following the Flyers because I was an Eagles fan before I got into it and they seemed like the perfect amount of chaotic. the Wild is my second favorite team and I follow them a bit too. Bobby Brink and stuff!

I'm trying to get some laser hair removal, I have a letter of prior authorization from my clinician if needed, and would preferably find something close to St Anthony. Does anyone have a good clinic to recommend?

Hello! I wanted to share a GoFundMe for a friend who has recently lost her home and is now trying to find a safe place to live. Your support can make a real difference in helping her secure an apartment and start fresh. Please consider donating or sharing the link to help her during this challenging time. Thank you!

Looking to move there in the next few months. I know pretty much all of mpls is very queer friendly, but are there specific streets, third places, etc that trans people tend to hang out? id like to live in the thick of it if possible. not much of a drinker but not against being near bars

a lot of people say south minneapolis, powderhorn, etc but those are kinda big/vague areas. was looking for more specifics. thanks!

im 23, MtF if that helps

well, i can start this by saying i think i have done all of this in the wrong order. I started transitioning before i found a circle of friends for support and now that i am ready to move (both location and forward in my transition) i would love some friends to do it with.

I will also say that, in my mind at least, i shouldn't have had any issues, but things keep holding me back for one reason or another.

anyway, would love to get to know some people. prior to moving. i am planning a few visits beforehand to nail down some logistics. but because i started so late, i feel im running out of my good years to actually enjoy the process as much as i would like. it that makes sense.

take care everyone and hope to hear from anyone soon. ❤️

Good afternoon all! I’m planning on traveling to the area to spend some time with a friend of mine. I am planning on coming out to them as my woman self. I’m super nervous about it, but also excited! I’ve never been to the twin cities, and I would like coming out to my friend to be a surprise. I was kind of thinking of being my self at a bar or a club as kind of like a celebration. Where they walk in, can’t find me cause they wouldn’t recognize me, and then I present myself to my friend hehe. But I’m not sure where would be a good place, and I don’t know anyone in the area lol.

Is there anyone that would be open to help me make it a memorable time?

I have a friend, 65M born in Mexico who needs to speak with a gender therapist. Ideally this person would be familiar with Mexican culture and speak fluent Spanish. Does anyone have recommendations? Bonus points for a Dr that does gender care who also speaks Spanish and is at least familiar with Mexican culture.
