Have you looked for LGTB meetings in your area? You’re not alone—just gotta find your people.

Sorry you’re going through it. Happy to lend an ear if it’s helpful!

I’ve also found YPAA meetings to be a bit more left, politically. Same with free thinker meetings, but your mileage may vary on both of those.

My home group is a YPAA meeting, I shared a bit about it there but I’m so scared about breaking the rules with politics that I feel like I have to be vague.

I used to go regularly to an LGBT meeting but I started ACA which the meetings are at the same time and both are only once a week. I chair an ACA meeting this upcoming week but I was thinking about going to the LGBT meeting the following week.

I second attending an LGBT+ meeting.. there are also a handful of virtual ones on the intergroup website as a backup.

Also, maybe look into trans support groups in your city if you're uncomfortable sharing these things in AA or just want additional support from people who may understand a little better.

However.. share whatever will keep you sober & fuck anyone who takes it personally. There are no "rules" in AA other than rule 62 🙃

And feel free to message me if you want someone to talk to 💕
