Three months ago I was desperately seeking queer and especially trans community, both online and in meatspace.
I joined Tumblr, and there I found it in spades. Younger trans girls, trans girls my age, trans men, all kinds of fascinating queer folks.
I met my first long-distance partner, another trans woman one state over. She's my age, we've spent one weekend together already, and we'll spend another together soon. Polyamory has been a wonderful journey! I love a small handful of people, and it has made my life infinitely better.
I became involved in local queer activism and am now on the Board of the local Queer Collective that puts on our Pride and other events. I just got elected but I'm excited to get my hands dirty!
Finally, I started going to local Kink clubs, because I couldn't live with myself if I never tried, and again I've met wonderful community! Amazing folks who are just fun to be around!
It feels like the past few months have been *years.* In the obvious way, hooray fascism taking over my country; but also in a beautiful way.
