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:

    I was thinking more as a gateway to finding new people in person. Once established, you can choose a different means of staying in contact.

    But if any amount of usage may lead to self harm then don’t, of course.
