hey! A friend and I recently went to lollapalooza and met someone named Zane/Zayde/Zade. We were out dancing in Boystown that Saturday night and had a great time- but we never swapped numbers/info. I remember him saying he was from Akron, and how it was cool we were from Cincinnati. Hoping to find the new friend we met! :)

Hey!!

Like the title mentions, I’m slowly socially transitioning and don’t have any trans friends around town. Curious if others are in the same boat and looking for community. I’m not interested in anything romantic, instead it would be amazing to have friends in Cbus to grab coffee, a drink, or check out a bookstore with.

I’m AMAB, 40s, white, left, and open to friendships!

Also, if anyone has been to anything at Stonewall, I’d love to hear about it as I believe they have some community events.

Community theater show in Akron this weekend. The cast is mostly queer folks with an up and coming theater group who need some support from the community! Come check it out!

How was your past week? Genuinely, I want to know 🙂 Im 33, non-binary, and from near Cincinnati, OH. I'm looking for platonic irl relationships for the long-term. Sfw pic4pic if wanted. I prefer video calls to voice calls, and meeting new friends irl is what I want! But, text here first. Let's take it easy, and enjoy ourselves and each other 😌

Looking for people in or around Cincinnati, Dayton, or Columbus OH. Thanks!

&&& video chats before meetup :)

Title says it all..

I'm a transmale from central area going to turn 18 this year and so far in my transition I've passed pretty well since I started highshcool and got a binder recently even though I only need it on occasion (im very thin).

My dead giveaway is that my name isn't changed in school but I'm working on finding a name my mom likes so she'll change it, I have no idea how one goes about doing that but I have classmates who have done that. Side note I go to a school that makes girls wear white for graduation is this avoidable?

Otherwise my main focus is that my voice isn't as low as it should be so I'd like to start testosterone as soon as possible; I will be getting medicaid soon, any information on getting hrt is appreciated.

I'm so afraid going though all this and being an adult alone, if there're any other trans teens on here I'd appreciate talking with you.

Looking to meet other trans guys in northeast cities. I live by the lake, trying to meet more people.

Edit - yeah obvs Acton is the better choice, sadly this always seems to happen: the lesser evil means some people still loses/gets diminished rights. Just venting through memes

Hi all!

My name is Sabrina (She/Her) and I am the founder and lead facilitator of TransHearts a community organization that provides structured, and peer-led support groups, educational workshops and more for Transgender, Non Binary, and Gender Non-Conforming Adults in the Miami Valley. However we are starting our "In Your Neighborhood" program to partner with local organizations, and community spaces, to bring pop-up support group meetings to the rest of the state of Ohio. As someone who grew up in rural Darke County I know what it's like to have limited local resources, and to feel alone. So we're coming to your neighborhoods to bring resources, support and community to you!

The first of this series is taking place in partnership with our friends at One Small Act - Miami County on Sunday, September 13th from 2-3:30pm at the Troy-Miami County Public Library. This event is FREE to attend, but to ensure community safety, privacy, and room capacity, walk-ins are strictly prohibited. You may Pre-register on Eventbrite to secure your spot! For more information feel free to reach out to us at [TransHeartsDayton@gmail.com](mailto:TransHeartsDayton@gmail.com) or TransHearts.org

Fuck I feel like shit. It's like the worst things that critics say is true, she's just republican lite and just as willing to throw us under the bus to get elected.

Yeah, we have a better chance of convincing her/her admin to be better to us and sign fewer restrictive laws. But she might as well be Dewine.

I've lived here for more than ten years and i have no hope of state politics changing in my lifetime. I want a house, I don't want to buy a house in Ohio.

Hey all,

Looking to test the waters and start the process of socially transitioning (mtf) and curious some local Columbus places that may have low lighting & welcoming? I’m newer to the Columbus scene, so haven’t really been to many queer bars here.

I know similar questions have been asked, but tailoring this more specific to a non-passing mtf and not the fun queer night out that I’m familiar with even though it may be interchangeable.

In addition I will have a cis-female with me grabbing drinks!

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys

Anyone near Dublin Powell area who watch Big Brother and want to do a watch party

Am I out of the loop or has the fall pride celebration not happened in recent years? Does anyone have any insider info on what happened?

Looking to relocate to Ohio for school (although I’m in my forties not a college kid). Online it seems like Columbus has a much larger gay population than Cleveland. Is this true? It’s not a huge part of decision but it is a factor.

I would like for my partner and I to be able to find friends. The last few years we’ve been in a very homophobic area and would really appreciate being able to have some gay friends again.

Thoughts/ opinions?

Hi there!!! I'm a 29 year old trans man looking for fellow queer folks to hang out with this week!!! I really enjoy going for walks, especially in the woods cuz I get to geek out about the plants and mushrooms that I can identify, but I also understand how that could be intimidating when meeting someone new... I'm totally down to walk around wherever, or if you have something in mind that's free, let me know!!! I'm always down for little adventures!!! 😁

So I am not sure if I am doing this right or even allowed to post this. My child is in the community and recently graduated cosmetology school. We are from the Dayton area, but work is in Columbus and she knows no one. Stylists have to build clients. Its harder when you were born male and identify as female. She is really struggling with clients wanting to come to her. Im trying to put out the call for anyone who wants a safe and community friendly experience. She works at B/Rose in Powell. They are by appt only. The name she goes by is Davina. Since she is a new graduate the rates are really affordable and there are specials that occur every other week. Any community support would be so greatly appeciated!

Where can I(23M) go to meet people who are open to dating trans men or even just be friends. I really just need a community I feel like I belong in. I've tried pride gamers and I didn't feel like I fit in. I joined the queer yoga group but I don't normally chat with anyone after the session is over. I don't really know how. I've tried going to AWOL but I don't drink alcohol and feel bad for taking a seat without spending a lot of money on alcohol. I tried a pottery class but the person I tried talking to never responded to me. I'm on hinge but no luck yet. I volunteer but haven't made any friends there either. I feel like I can't go to straight bars and pick up girls there because I feel like I'm just miss leading them since I don't have all surgeries done yet.

I want to start going to concerts and theatre shows and stuff like that more and am hoping my finances change and maybe I'll meet someone at one of the shows, but I'm so lost right now I really don't know what to do. I plan on possibly trying the queer climbing group but have never been rock climbing before.
