So I'm new to all of this and I've got a lot of questions. I'll probably be posting here a lot. :) My big question for y'all rn is what do you consider trustworthy resources to consult on trans topics? For news, I'm subscribed to TNN, but I could use some suggestions for websites or other information sources.

I've got a lot of the grooming aspects covered, but right now I'm also wanting to do specific reading about selecting affirming undergarments and everything that goes along with that.

Also, where else would you recommend I look for online community and any suggestions on finding IRL community (i've got some feelers out already, but more ideas would be helpful)?

Thanks!!!

i appreciate the suggestion (me: terrified of heights, lol). it is a really good suggestion and i like the idea of finding queer community around an activity. i'm actually really into birding and i've looked into it, but there are no feminist birding clubs near me either. i think i'm just going to have to eventually get out of my town for irl meetups. like many of us, i live in a deep red rural area. we just got our own pride celebration a few years ago - it's lame, but it's progress i guess.
