I think I've got a date! I think it's a date since we met on tinder... A geek, obviously. Very cute style, and new in my city. We're gonna go to kind of a "netrunner for newbies" event, since neither of us knows how to play. Seems to me that learning a new game together might be a great way to get to know each other without forcing too much small talk.
Don't know if I'm actually ready to get into something for real now, but getting a new queer friend would be nice regardless and someone wanting to go on a date makes me feel less old and ugly. If it goes to a second date I won't feel so awkward and stupid either! XD
Yay! Have fun!

Oh my mu! This is such a great thread. I've had some terrible experiences with some of my local gaming groups. ugh, just ugh. I'm so happy there's such a great welcoming community here tho! :D
Welcome the thread...sorry to hear about your terrible experiences...I guess I am lucky in that at worst my gaming friends tend to just forget that I am transgendered...

Hey everyone! I'm still here, lurking and watching everyone's stories. I have been very depressed and not really interested in conversations.
I am poking my head in to say hello! A very good friend of mine just had her gender confirmation surgery and it went very well. She's so very happy to be on to a new journey. Today she should be getting flowers from a bunch of us. She doesn't know that they are coming. We went with tulips because they represent Spring which is about rebirth. We found rainbow ones that would represent her LGBT status. I'm sure she will love them.
A funny story she said was about when they were unpacking the gauze from her new undercarriage, she told the nurse that it looked like a clown car! It was 7 feet of gauze!
Anyway, it's making me think about my own journey and where I want to go. She's an inspiration to me. I started going to an LGBT group at the VA. I don't know if I like the group though. It just feels like a bunch of people whining instead of people looking for solutions. We shall see though. I've only been to one session so far.

So she got the flowers. She loved them! These are the ones that I got for her.
I'm struggling to find the pendant I want to get her.
She is so very happy with how things have turned out. Her surgery was a huge success. It's making me think about a few things for myself.

So, my date stood me up but I still went to the game club akd learned a bit of Netrunner. Was fun, though I would've preferred to do it with the guy. Hurts a bit to be stood up, but I'm chatting with another really nice person (and also really cute, waaay out of my league really). Hopefully they won't do the same.

You know, there are a lot of people who thought they were playing out of their league, but then they turned out to be playing in just the right league.

Yeah I know, my ex was also way out of my league yet we ended up sharing six years. But still, at least I was young back then. But thanks for the encouragement, it's appreciated.
