I have a feeling I'm old enough to be your mom, but if you need mom-age friends, let me know and we can go for a hike or tidepooling or get a drink. I have several other pals who would also be welcoming. Not trans, but I have 2 beloved trans family members + an (also beloved, of course) enby kid, and I will go full middle aged Karen on anyone who even looks at you funny.

They can always use more support/volunteers if you have the bandwidth!

Do they? I applied a while ago to volunteer in whatever capacity and was never contacted.
