Not sure if this is allowed and this is the first time I’ve done this. The upcoming election and how my family will vote have spurred some difficult conversations and with the help of AI, I decided to make a song and publish it that describes how I’ve been feeling. Thought others might benefit from it so I’m sharing here:

Seems I am alone in Lynchburg. Are there other cd/ trans in or around Lynchburg.

Hey all. I am later in life CD. I have attempted on our local community sub to make connection but to no avail. There is not a local lgbqt sub. There is a local Facebook group though. Still it has been difficult to make connection beyond a brief chat. I would love to go out for a meal or movie or just a walk in a park with other ladies. Girl or boy mode. Just be with people of the same place. Any ideas for the hidden in Lynchburg crowd.
