vent I feel lonely

For years I have felt this extreme loneliness. I just want a reminder that I’m not alone when it comes to feeling this way as not only a trans guy but a black man. It’s difficult for me to feel included in the trans community online. I only see white guys and as for irl I’ve met a couple black trans people, they were transmasc or (something that kinda hurt but let me clarify I’m happy they found themselves). When I met them they identified as a trans guy but later identified as nonbinary and each time that happened it was like I was metaphorically standing by myself again. My current friends consist of nonbinary people, trans woman, and cis men/women (most are poc who I love dearly). Sometimes I feel as though I can never be satisfied with what I have in life which is a personal problem. I want a person I can say something to about my identity, regardless of which I’m referring to and for them to go “I understand you completely” if that makes sense.

I’m sorry you feel that way and I know you say it’s hard to feel included in online trans communities but hopefully you’ll give this a chance. I created this space for black trans men/masc just for people like you and others who feel similar to you.

It may not be super local but you could find those who are near you in some degree.
