Open Invitation to TGP Members for Zoom Meet-Ups


Recommended Posts

  • Forum Moderator

Some of our TGP forum members here have already had the chance to join in on one or more of our previous Zoom meet-ups. They’ve been taking place every Saturday evening. Another Zoom meeting was added to accommodate another group on the occasional Tuesday evening these past 6 months. The Tuesday meetings were added so that new TGP forum members might join in the fun. Several of you have shown interest in attending these but for one reason or another have not been available to attend. This open invite will hopefully encourage those members on the fence and others curious about them to reach out and give it a go.

 

These Zoom meetings are a wonderful opportunity for us all to experience the same affirming atmosphere we’ve all experienced on the TGP general forum. For some that have attended, it was first time they were able to be themselves in a worry free public setting. For others, it has been a time to share a small part of our week with accepting open arms. It’s a very low-key drama-free experience.

 

If you haven’t yet attended a Trans Zoom meeting, I encourage you to give it a try…at least once. It can be such a liberating experience. There’s absolutely no pressure to speak during the meeting or even have your camera on. So Yes! You’re always welcome to join our meetings with your camera and mic OFF. Feel free to keep your speakers on and listen to the ongoing discussion. If later you decide you’d like to chime in on a topic that interests you, just turn on your mic and click on the “Raise Hand button. The host or last speaker will call on you as soon as there’s a break. Alternatively, you can always turn your camera ON and physically raise your hand if that’s your preference. It’s that easy and relaxed. Best of all, you’re among many of the same friends you converse with here on our TGP forum.

 

Here’s another nice thing about these meet-ups. You can show up anytime during the 3 or 4 hour streaming session and stay as long or as short as you like. People drop in and out at random times….sometimes just to say hi and check in with the group. The whole thing is very fluid and diverse like almost everyone in attendance. These meetings are a great opportunity for us all to add a perspective on any of the multiple topics we might be discussing during the 3 or 4 hours it’s streaming. There’s no pressure, whatsoever, for anyone to share anything. Most eventually have something to say as they feel the friendliness and inviting atmosphere within the group. 

 

Lastly, these meetings are a safe space to experiment with parts of your transition. Everyone in attendance encourages testing out new gestures, practicing your voice, trying a new hairstyle or wig or mustache, putting on your new favorite makeup or outfit. Alternatively, just come as you are. The point of these meetings is to be comfortable in whatever presentation you prefer and to get to know some of those you know here in an inclusive affirming environment.

 

The weekday Trans Zoom meet-ups will be resuming again soon. Until that time, TGP members interested (and available) to attend an upcoming Saturday Evening anytime between 6pm-9pm Pacific Standard Time, please PM me for more information.

 

Susan R🌷

 

PLEASE NOTE: These Zoom meetings are available for those TGP members over the age of 18.

For any of our members here who might be reluctant to join in one of the Zoom sessions, they are low key, fun, informative and you can interact as little or as much as you feel comfortable doing.

 

The first Tuesday Zoom meeting was my first time that anyone had "seen" me outside of my wife and therapist. And, because I am so relatively new to transitioning and am moving slowly, I don't always have a lot to offer.

 

Don't let that stop you. Everyone has been amazingly supportive, friendly and tolerant. I've learned so much and just have plain had fun talking with other men and women from our forums. 

 

I hope some of you will join us!!!

I'd encourage everyone to check out the zoom meetings.  I have been a regular on the Saturday night zoom since it started.  I don't often say a lot - I'm not a talkative person - and I have to sign off early to avoid a late night because I am in the Atlantic Time Zone, but they are a highlight of my week.

And, once again, in my coffee depleted state when I originally responded, I inadvertently limited the participants I've interacted with.  I enjoy interacting with everyone across the spectrum of our community, no matter their gender identification. 

 

Join in and help enrich each others' lives.

@Michelle_S told me she might like to be added to the Zoom invite group if there is room.

That was my oversight. I’m very sorry. I was sure I had added you and Jet and when I signed out of the Zoom meeting just now, I came on here and noticed I had missed you both. I tagged you in the PM itself but forgot to add you. :(

Tonight at 6PM Pacific Time there will be another Trans Zoom Meeting. If anyone thinking of attending, please PM me to be added to the list so you get the Zoom Meeting Link.

 

Just a refresher: These meetings continue for 3 to 4 hours with members of our community dropping in and out during the entire duration. Feel free to drop in at anytime and leave at anytime. It’s nice touch base and meet others who understand where we are and how we got here!

Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other. 

 

I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile. 

 

Come see what it's like!!

      At 22 your body will still be changing. You say you've been on T for 6 years. Some trans guys say they fully masculinise around the 10 yr mark. I have a cis bro who is soon to be 30. He's changed alot in 5 years, a full beard, deeper voice . Of course hes cis so it's different, but his body was still changing at that age. Sorry for what you're going through. I'm short too at just under 5"2.

      Dump that doctor!   A doctor is a HIRED SERVICE PROFESSIONAL.  No more "holy" than a mechanic, a plumber, or anybody else in the trades.  Just like anybody else you hire, if they have a bad attitude or do crap quality work, get rid of them ASAP.  It amazes me how in the USA we don't have clear prices related to medical services, and how people will put up with crap from a doctor that they wouldn't from anybody else.  And it seems that doctors give bad service at approximately the same rate as other tradespeople.  Good help is hard to find!   Your body is more important than your car or your bathtub. Don't be afraid to assert yourself.

      I can't do that for myself...my partners do that for me. I guess I'm damaged goods.  I think part of me never totally grew up, because I'm not able to do adulting on my own.  There's no "wise parent" part of me because I didn't get here on my own.    I was stuck in my parents' house until GF rescued me.  Before age 26, my parents made all my decisions.  After age 26, I maybe decide some things, but mostly GF or my husband take care of it.  I need my partners around to remember even the basic stuff, like sleeping and eating at reasonable times.  Solo, I'm totally lost.

      Now that I think about it, part of why I enjoy my noisy family so much is because I don't have to have much of an inner life.  I don't really like being left to my own thoughts....all that mess in my brain.  Maybe better to have an active outer life than an inner one?

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Oh I'm wearing a blessed girl t shirt and blue capris. Nothing special today. It was just doing nothing day and feel guilty about it.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them. 
    • Ashley0616
      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.
