Remember no politics! LGBT people’s lives can be different because the world isn’t LGBT inclusive. We all face challenges, but LGBT people can face particular ones… what are some of them?

  • As a fairly newly out (to myself, and a few friends and people online) transfem person the whole everything going on in the UK at the moment feels designed to just force me back firmly into the closet. I need to figure out getting DIY HRT but first I’ve got to save some money and then work out how to do any of it and it all just feels like the uphillest of uphill battles

      I assume you’re in the matrix chat, but just in case you’re not, join the matrix chat. So many lovely helpful people who are going through, or have gone through, all the same stuff. And some intimidatingly knowledgeable DIYers.

      • I am not, I wasn’t aware there was one. Honestly I don’t really do great with group chats and what have you (huge introvert, even online apparently) but I really appreciate the info ❤️

          That’s fair, and to be honest I’m recommending it as a massive introvert who doesn’t participate nearly as much in conversation as I want to. Nonetheless, it’s sort of nice just having those conversations taking place in my pocket all the time. I’m in the room overhearing the conversation even though I’m really not in it. Anyway, keep it in mind if you ever feel alone.

            Well, I tried to join and I don’t know if I got rejected or if Element just doesn’t work great but I don’t appear to have access to it 😅 Still, I appreciate your encouragement
