I like to read books on writing. In fact, I even taught English, and I do write. We have a writers' social group, although I am not sure how active it is. But I belong, and it could get going again!
We also have a transgender forum, where you are sure to meet some folks who understand that aspect of you. Here is that link: Transgender & Other Gender Support - Forums at Psych Central.
I hope these suggestions will be a start, anyway. Believe me, we have members with all sorts of interests and "bents."  |
I tried one transgender forum and it was mostly older women with a different, more delicate approach to life, so I'm still searching on that front. I haven't had much time to familiarize myself with the subforum here.
I've been in writing communities, too. All my approaches are uncommon to rare, so I still wound up feeling left out looking at others agreeing with each other and swapping experiences in their niche. The one person I really related to and who did some illustrations for me I met somewhere else.
It's alienating to share a brief analysis of something like short stories and how they can force you to think more efficiently about writing and get no responses while everything from forum drama to chit-chat does. I couldn't slow down imagining how amazing aspects of life in ancient Greece would be in fantasy today or how to allude to the important real world events in a novella mostly taking place in the reflecting dream world to participate in religious and semantic arguments if I tried. My brain does not have an off switch.
