Relocated

I can't remember if I posted anything a few months back, but I lost my job back in June. Due to a combination of circumstances, I was unable to collect unemployment, and a couple of weeks ago, I lost my apartment in Charlotte. I have, somewhat reluctantly, moved back in with my parents in Portsmouth, Virginia. I've been here a couple of weeks, and haven't done much beyond looking for work. I landed another hotel job two days ago, and I'm settling in well. I am relatively confident that I'll be able to get back on my feet within a reasonable amount of time.

In Charlotte, I had a number of TG friends. I was a member of the Kappa Beta chapter of Tri-Ess, and had recently joined a new group called the Charlotte Gender Alliance. Now, I find myself in a seeming TG desert. I found a listing online for something called the "Hampton Roads Transgender Outreach", but all of their links are dead, and the email came back as "Undeliverable". If anyone here knows of anything, I'd be most appreciative.

I'm not even sure when I'm going to be able to dress again. My parents were mostly cool about me crossdressing when I was 300 miles away, but here they're worried about what their neighbors might think. My mom was a little distressed when I moved in, and I had more female clothes than male. All of my male clothes barely filled up one of those rectangular Rubbermaid tubs, while my femme stuff filled a second tub and a larger plastic trunk. Right now, I'm just happy to be working and making money again, but in a few weeks, I'm going to need to "stretch my legs". *SIGH*

Hey, Hon,

Am I ever relieved that you are OK!!!!! Not having heard from you in quite some time and knowing your circumstances had us worried.

Let me give you some things to think about:

First, Pink Essence, they are a state and national social club for CD's and they are growing here in the state. I know that they have a social planned for the Tidewater area. I will get you the particulars ASAP and other information.

The Richmond area has TGIIFF = don't ask??

Anyway, you may have seen me mention Fielden's in Richmond. The first Friday of each month, they open their doors to us - CD's - granted it is at midnight but you will meet some of the nicest girls there. Donna, SL and I go quite often as does S. Lisa Smith from Norfolk, and Debbie Sue Dunkle (head of Pink Essence in Virginia). There are usually 30 - 40 girls there. I can't name any gender friendly places in the Tidewater area, but in Richmond, Fielden's and Z-22's and Babe's (you will like Babe's), and Godfrey's. So I hope we will see you there.

I will get you the info on Pink Essence in a PM.

Glad you are back, hon!

Welcome back Jaye.

I'm glad that the job situation is working out. With that in place hopefully the other things will follow.

Hay Jaye,

So glad you are up and running. Now I do know the feeling of being without sister as since I retired and moved there is no one for me to talk too or see.
I miss very much seeing and being with others.
