I am really interesting in finding other TG-Girls in the Illinois are (chicagoland and burbs) that I can get to know and possibly hang out with. I have nooooo TG friends, and this has been a desire of mine for quite some time. I really want to be more social and just be around people who I can relate to!

Is this even the right section for this kinda post? Someone please tell me...

Thanx dolls.

Hi Nicole,

I grew up in the 'burbs' of Chicago and still get back there occasionally. I think I've seen some others here who claim parts of Illinois and/or Chicagoland as their state, so maybe some will come on and offer suggestions. I don't know your age, but here is a link to the 'things to do' page of the Chicago Gender Society -here.

It looks like a calendar of events that they may not directly support but provide links to. Knowing the area, I can see that for the month of March, there are events all over the place. A good place to start finding people is in a safe environment where you know something about the group. And people have found others here, through sharing information with PM's and slowly building a trust with each other and then meeting.

I can't speak directly for the society or for any of the links, but they certainly give a good idea of what's available in the Chicago area. We do want you to be careful and any first meeting with anyone should be in a very public area. Hope it works out.

Hugs

I've been looking at Chicago as a possibility to move to.. along with Portland Oregon.

Would love to hang out if Chicago ends up being my future home instead of Portland.

Just know I need to get out of Missouri!

      Nope.  I live in a rural area.  Pride events are for city folks.  The normally quiet LGBTQ+ club kind of changes atmosphere during that time, and things get a bit political.  As a non-Democrat, I avoid it.

      For me, definitely the size thing.  I'm 5'4" on a good day, and 100lbs.  I can pass as a teenage boy, but never for my real mid-30s age.  And since my husband looks older than his age, I'm often assumed to be his kid.  Or folks think there's something illegal going on.      Also, my lack of the typical aggressive "masculine" demeanor.  I don't really desire the typical masculine social role, nor could I do it even if I tried really hard.  I'm usually quiet and kind of timid.

      I am sorry for your struggles. I cannot empathize, but I can surely sympathize. I wish only the best for you!

      No, they are the only provider of services I need an my area. 😑

      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way. 
    • violet r
      I been play texas chainsaw massacre game most recently. It free on game pass right now. Just need a good team
    • violet r
      Anyone play war and order on their phones?  
    • violet r
      I can relate.  I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.

      Welcome to the party, M.A.     Sounds chaotic haha, I can confidently say that living with only two children the same age is stressful enough, much less three!
