I wish I could give some advice. I am a cis male and I do not fit in with cis males. Up until very recently my best friend was a trans woman (my wife's as well) but sadly she passed away of natural causes. I was closer to her than I am to my family members, except my wife. Since I'm basically homebound, I don't drive, I don't think I'll have another friend like that. And the fact that she was a trans woman is so central to our relationship (she trusted me enough to come out to me before we really knew each other, and I knew more of her story than her family members). I have to say at this point that I relate to trans women more than I do to anyone. I did not have the trauma she did of course, but I had plenty, and we could relate.

If you were in Delray Beach we could go have a coffee :)
