Hi, I'm Emma (she/her).

So, long story short:

I am lonely
I wanna befriend some local LGBTQ+ people here in southeast Louisiana
I can't send/receive direct messages to/from Lemmy users with this Mbin account, but I have a Lemmy account I can use if necessary

About me:

I'm a 90s kid
I'm a trans girl
I began transition, including HRT, January of 2023
I suffer from OCD
I'm a Linux nerd, kinda
I use PureOS on my Librem 5
I use QubesOS on my Librem 14
I use pfSense on my firewall/router
I'd like to think that I'm somewhat good at writing

I'd love to meet some LGBTQ+ people, but I don't know how. The only support group I've found is exclusively online via Zoom, and only Facebook users are allowed. As a privacy and security obsessed person, I'm totally excluded, and I just feel so trapped right now. I want to meet people offline, and I just don't know how.

And I'm really sad right now thinking about how much I love the friends I've made online in the past few months and how I feel so isolated from them.

It hurts to post this, but I feel that I must. I don't expect to find anyone, but I have to try.

Edit:

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

Hiya, I sent you a DM but the long and short of it is that I'm also in the southeastern Louisiana area and am queer and would be down to get more queer friends in the area

Hi 😊 Apparently DMs between Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin still do not work, so I can only see DMs from other Kbin/Mbin users.

I've sent you a DM from my Lemmy account.
