    I have been feeling kinda lonely recently, and I was wondering if you have other trans friends, and how you met them? Also, is there some place for trans people to go to find each other, or be pen-pals or anything like that? Or is there anyone on here who wants to message each other and talk about transition, feelings, and all that stuff?
    Anything else that might be helpful?
    Thanks!

    I'm actually at the house of a trans friend who I actually met through EC right this second.

    Another I saw in October and coming up in march.

    Also if you do want to contact people off site you have to do it through private message as a full member and be aware of who you are communicating with, especially since you are a minor still.

    But if you just want to talk, then anyone here is willing to. We won't bite.

    I happen to know someone irl who's agender, but that was more by chance.. As Kasey said, you can always PM other full members on EC. I'm sure there's plenty of others who would love someone to talk to!

    The only trans friends I have are people I talk to on the internet. I've met 3 trans kids at high school but they're all really rude so I don't like being around them. I like talking to other trans people though, I feel less alone, and they're the only ones that really get what I'm going through.

    I know no one who is part of the LGBT community in real life.

    My best friend is part of LGBT with me, and most of her friends are too, but I never really got along with them...

    But yeah, people here will totally be your friend, sign me up! :3

    I met one trans guy by chance in a bookstore, a few trans girls in theater, and a whole group of people at a university event (I was not a member of the university).

    Shoot me a message anytime man!

    Sometimes I feel like I have this giant queer magnet. My best friend is genderfluid and I quite a few of my friends have turned out to be bisexual. Even in college on the first day the first person I tried to make friends with turned out to be non-binary.

    You could try joining a gay-straight alliance if one exists and at college there are usually some sort of lgbt meetup/club.

    I'm also looking for friends! I have plenty of LGB friends but T and Q are sadly underrepresented, my only trans friend passed away in 2008. I joined a few meetup groups in the area and I'm looking forward to meeting new folks.

    Feel free to PM me anytime. :slight_smile:

    About this. Just because someone is Lgbt, doesn't mean you get along with them.

    Lgbt is only one similarity. But I honestly don't care if I meet more lgbt people as long as I have friends who accept me. Transgender is only a small part of who I am.

    I've got some trans friends because theres a trans group I attend at a health clinic nearby. I also know some people from my high school's GSA.

    You can totally come talk to me whenever you like :slight_smile:

    I have a good transgirl friend over fb, and quite a few queer people on that! But no one in actual reality, although, hopefully that will change ^_^ off to a local trans support meeting next week :grin:

    My roommate is actually a trans man. We met each other through Gender and Sexuality Alliance and he was looking for a roommate. Now he's like my best friend and it's totally cool living with another trans person who totally gets what I'm going through.

    I also started feeling a little lonely since I realised I was trans, because I don't have anybody to talk about it and I'm deep in the closet. I would like to meet other trans people, so you can always feel free to PM me.

    I don't know other trans people outside this forum, just some cross-dressers, all female.

    I guess I should look for LGBT bars and such, but right now my budget wouln't allow it, so...

    Personally, I won't make any such promises.

    But I'm still friendly and always open to new friends so if you, or anybody else for that matter, want to talk then you are very welcome to do so.
