Hi everybody! My schedule has been really unforgiving, so I may or may not end up writing something and making changes to the post later in the week.
Regardless, I hope you all have a good week!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

I met some trans people through leftist/activist groups and sometimes I go to radical queer meetups.
If you can find any kind of meetup that matches your vibe a bit I think it is very much worth the anxiety and stress to go. Being trans can be such a lonely experience and it feels really nice to meet other people who are going through it too.
The best way would be to ask some queer/trans person in your vicinity if they know some kind of meetup group because then you already know 1 person.
I do know (sort of, we have talked a few times, we are not really friends) an openly queer person IRL, good point. (Only exactly 1 person. I truly lack social skills and I don't know many people in general.) But how would I ask that question without being inappropriate? In a world with so much hatred towards queer people, it sounds like a really bad idea for me (not openly queer) to just walk up to this person (openly queer) and be like "Hey, you're non-binary, right? I am trans, can you tell me about any trans meetups?"
Maybe it's irrational, but I kinda worry about being seen as an imposter
If someone came up to me to ask about trans support groups the thought of them being an imposter would never cross my mind at all. But where I live there isn’t as much hostility against trans people as in for example the USA so it might be different in your circumstances.
Sounds like a reasonable way to approach it to me. It’s almost exactly how I got introduced to a trans support group lol. Most trans people know what it’s like to be new and searching for support. My own philosophy is that trans people should stick together and help each other, I love it when someone comes up to me to ask about resources.
