Hi, I'm Emma! If you recognize my avi from Matrix chat rooms, yes I'm that Emma. 😊

Ada and others can verify that I'm legit.

So, long story short:

  • I am lonely

  • I wanna befriend some local trans people here in southeast Louisiana

About me:

  • I started HRT January 2023

  • I have ESP! (Estrogen Spironolactone Progesterone)

  • I'm a Linux nerd

  • I use QubesOS

I'm making this post here, because this is a much bigger audience than the Matrix chat rooms, but I am also nervous.

I know the odds are still against me, but I have to try.

Edit:

DMs between Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin still do not work, so here is my Lemmy account:

Good luck! They're out there! Just have to find them :)

And all who are considering Emma's request for friendship, she is amazing! And a fantastic person to talk with ❤️

idk if it makes sense to repy to you here like this, since matrix is like my home now, but thank you very much for the support. it means a lot 😊 and yeah, if i don't have much luck in this specific community, i might cast a bigger net. we shall see.

Matrix has been a home to me as well, hence why I'm responding 3 days late 😅

But I know you have a friend in me :)

a very good friend indeed 😊 just don't get too distracted over there (kinda telling myself that too 😉)
