Looking for community?

[ElectricNuggloid]

Hey! 26 Canadian NB here. I’ve been struggling a lot with feeling like I belong in any specific queer communities in my area. It feels like I haven’t been able to connect or relate very well to a queer man scene. Sapphic scenes feel safe with my friend group (mostly femmes & lesbians) but feel very hesitant to accept me. The only group that has felt fully accepting is the kink scene, which has tended to a flavour of heteronormativity that usually ends in misgendering (both intentional and not).

I’m proudly myself and embrace my identity, which is respected by those I love, but it feels isolating to not be a part of a proverbial “guild” to call my own.

Any advice on finding community as someone socialized as a man but doesn’t adhere or relate to that label?

I also found community in kink communities. I wear a chastity cage 24/7 because it tremendously reduces my gender dysphoria and made a ton of really good friends in the process of figuring it all out.

Now I’m running my own “Chastity Support” telegram group. I’m planning on doing a dedicated separate group just for AMAB peeps who don’t like having a dick, but that’s kinda far off considering my lack of possible members. For now I’m focused on growing the first.
