Ftm/trans community in Austin TX?
I'm relatively new to the trans community and I'd really like to meet more people. I recently moved to Austin for college (I'm 19) and I'm wondering if there are any local LGBTQ+ groups or organizations I can meet other trans people at.
I'm also interested in making friends with any other trans men (near my age) either online or near Austin.
Thanks!

There's a group on Meetup, of all things, but I've not joined (and they keep everything private, unsurprisngly).
If you're a POC, there's an organization called Allgo which I've known a couple people involved in.
There's a group called TGQ (look on Facebook) that is a social group that meets once a month. That's mostly where I've met the handful of trans people I know. (Good age range, though tends to be older than you. Trans men are definitely a minority, but it's the only trans group I've really ever been to that gets people of a variety of genders showing up consistently. Does tend to skew very white.)
I've just turned 30 and am actively looking for jobs to get me out of Austin, but I'll get coffee if you want and/or try to summon a few people from Facebook.
Edit: Oh and if you need a GP, I've got a decent one who prescribes T (don't know if he requires a letter to start).
That sounds awesome! Thank you. Can I private message you?
Sure.
