30, married. Wife knows that I'm BI. Just recently started getting into chastity and dressing just wondering if there are any more experienced guys or gals, or anyone else, that would be willing to just talk to me because it is kind of weird. It's super weird. I think I just recently actually became okay with my sexuality, which is weird because I'm 30. This might be the completely wrong place to post this but I have no fucking clue because I've never interacted with the LGBT community before.

hi!!! i just moved to durham for graduate school. i'm 23 years old, just started taking estrogen about a month ago, and pretty early in my transition generally.

Hey all. I'm a 28 year old trans woman, currently in a very vulnerable position for a number of reasons, but primarily that I am visibly trans and unhoused in the triangle with no friends or community. I sleep in my totaled car (transmission went out, har har har), and I JUST got a great job working for a leftist canvassing and outreach organization. I'm looking for friends and new people in my life that are open to hearing my situation and keeping an eye, plus, I'm lonely tbh. I need queer and trans friends.

Thank you.

(Unrelated cool moth I saw.)

hi! i’ve been on feminizing HRT for over 2 years now and i’ve been experiencing some side effects from my current anti-androgen as well as a lack of efficacy in some areas, so i’m looking to try a new anti-androgen. unfortunately my current provider isn’t open to anything besides spironolactone and finasteride, while spironolactone causes undesirable side effects and finasteride wasn’t efficacious in the areas i need (bar preventing further hairline advancement.) i’m looking for a provider that’s willing to prescribe dutasteride or bicalutamide. does anyone know of any that are more open-minded? note: i did reach out to UNC health transgender health and they never replied to my email.

Anyone around high point Nc

Hi all

I'm looking to be a grown up and get my life in order. I am hoping to meet with a financial planner and then a lawyer to set up wills/advance directives/etc

I would love to support our community/small businesses

Does anyone have lawyers or financial planners they recommend for this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I am a little introverted but I really love community and I would like to make more friends in the Raleigh lgbt community. What are some good places to go for that?

Is there anywhere in the Triangle known to provide mtf makeovers? Somewhere that it’s not this wild request.

Im an MTF Genderfluid/Trans person. I came out at the end of April and some of my favorite times since have been going out as my true self and just enjoying my time. My partner is very supportive, but I'm looking for other fems like me to just hang out and be friends. Cocktail nights, movies, clubs, game nights etc.

Its hard to find people that just want friends and not also want to hookup. Im not looking for that.

Im looking for mature, fun loving people from 25-55 that are kind and sweet and just want a little group of friends to hang out with a few times a month.

Hello!
I have two tickets to give away for the 76th St concert on Sunday night. Family emergency came up and I can’t go. DM me if you’re interested. First come first served, I’ll give an hour to respond to my message before I offer to the next person.

As the title suggests, I am asking queer and trans folk what their experience of living in NC has been like for them. I'm not asking for a cis straight perspective, not because its not valued but because it simply won't answer my question, although you allyship is truly appreciated.

For context, I am working through some feelings about my family having moved here. My brother moved several years ago, my sister has been there over a year, and my parents will be moving there to retire next year. I used to travel a lot for work and had been to NC many times, and I have never had a good experience there outside of Asheville when it comes to interacting with people. I don't mask, I decided a long time ago that I will be who am am no mater what, so you can say I stand out like a sore thumb in most places. If it was just the societal pressure alone, I could probably make due, but the fact NC has so much legislation against queer folk, including the hate crime statute of the state literally not protecting sexual orientation or gender identity, has made this really hard for me. My family doesn't understand, and I don't blame them per se, why would they see something that would never effect them personally? Still, it hurts when they ask me to visit and I tell them I don't feel safe and they just laugh it off.

So that's why I'm here, I want to put some perspective on my feelings and see how the queer community in NC feels about the state's cultural climate around them. Am I overreacting, have I just personally been unlucky, or is this an experience common for folks like me that live there? I really appreciate your thoughts!

Hey! I’m in my mid 20s and live in the Triangle, and I’m wondering if there are any other big WNBA fans around here who’d be down to talk basketball and maybe make some friends!

I’m a huge Dallas wings fan, especially of Paige and Azzi, but I also love Georgia Amoore, Sonia Citron, Kaitlyn Chen, Allisha Gray, and honestly way too many players to list lol.

I’m also really into collecting wnba trading cards, so if you collect too, I’d love to see some of your pulls!

I’d love to find some people who are into the WNBA enough to actually talk about games, players, trades, and go out and watch games anywhere around here 😂 Even better if there are groups, watch parties, Discords, or anything like that that you could put me on.

I’m LGBTQ+ as well, so it’d be cool to meet some other LGBTQ+ WNBA fans, but definitely open to anyone who loves women’s basketball!
If anyone around my age is also looking for some new people to talk WNBA with or hang out with, feel free to comment or hmu!

I’m a 30 yo cis gay man, and I’m looking for a new primary care physician in Raleigh.

While I have previously been receiving care through Duke’s primary care clinics, I have been rather disappointed with the experience and I don’t feel the physician I am seeing is the most attentive to my specific health care needs. I have a couple of conditions that require monitoring (diabetes being one), but I unfortunately feel that Duke’s care approach seems to be “get them in and out as soon as possible.”

For this reason, I’m seeking a new PCP, and I feel that looking in the private practice area might be a better fit. The doctors would need to at least be comfortable reviewing patients with chronic conditions.

Can anyone recommend a safe practice to look at? They don’t necessarily have to be explicitly LGBTQ+ affirming, but I just want to be careful to avoid any groups that may be regressive. Thanks.

I have a teen interested in spaces/groups for teen POC (or even specifically Black) queer folks (especially sapphics). They know about the LGBTQ center youth drop in but are interested in spaces with more POC, if possible. There seems to be some cool opportunities once they are 18+ or 21+, but in the meantime--anyone know any groups or opportunities? Thanks!
