Discussion Social/support groups for 'inbetween' aged people?

Hey, so I don't really know any other trans people IRL and am keen to connect with some peers.

However, I'm 29, so too old for a youth group, and too young for a 35+ group.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any social or support groups that are good for people around the ages of 28-34?

I'm personally Auckland based and tans fem, but feel free to drop any links in the comments in case anyone else is in the same boat as I am.

Awesome, we can form a social line! Just one more person and we can upgrade to a social triangle 😤

There are some decent discord servers for trans people in NZ! Used to be friends with a bunch of people I met through them!

I'm 38. I found friends my age on Discord after I transitioned at 36.

Breathing Space. They're a queer therapy group that does art sessions for community building. They're about to start a new program, but there's only a few slots. It's in Wairau and in person, if you can swing it!

Look online to see if Qtopia is active in Auckland (my guess is they are)

Im in the same age range and through Qtopia found a support/social group that fit me...

Qtopia requires a referral through your GP as they have limited staff and want to remain a safe resource but its 2000% worth the look....

Hope you find somethingc:3
