If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

I grew up in a strict religion and moved away from friends and family when I graduated high school. I've been living out on my own for 2 years now and my gender dysphoria which I thought was "under control" is kicking my ass. I don't have any sort of friend group other than some people I kinda know on discord and my 40+ year old co-workers. I desperately need people I can talk to about this. The only time I have acknowledged these feelings out loud was to my mormon parents when I was young which did not go well and led me to shoving this shit down in the first place. Any discord servers or recommendations for places to look for people who won't hurt me for opening up? I've heard that there are good trans communities on vr-chat but I'm terrified of running into trolls before people who would actually listen.
