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:
