I want to start a queer self-acceptance journaling group here (hexbear.net)

Looking for trans and queer comrades working on self-acceptance to start a reflection and growth group. It will be sort of like group therapy but with more emphasis on personal reflection. There would be weekly threads to share reflections and to find support with each other.

I started this sort of hokey new-age self-help book titled 'Gay Spirit Warrior' which provides a framework for becoming a liberated, anti-patriarchal Gay Man through processing internalized homophobia, and anxieties around being publicly out.

As I was reading the introduction, it was so easy to replace 'loving other men' with 'letting yourself be genderqueer.' I am really excited to start working through the book! But like all forms of reflection and growth, it is done best through community.

I am committed to spend about two hours each week reflecting, and imagine others could have a worthwhile experience with about half that time. If there are a few interested comrades, I would begin freely adapting the chapters of the book to be about general queer self-acceptance.

I will try to adapt the first chapter by Friday so comrades can have a better idea of what it entails! Probably this will be done by block quoting with interpretive notes.

Sounds like an interesting idea, i'd be up for that. I often feel that coming out is like a continuous process that just doesn't stop, not only because you constantly meet people you aren't out to, but also because you don't just go from "ok, i'm mostly a straight dude, but admittedly a little bit bi" to "i'm a nonbinary demi poly pan-but-also-heteropessimist-and-lesbian-as-a-gender-identity domme-leaning switch trans woman" in one go. That's just a journey, not to mention the complicated relationship we as trans folk have with gender presentation, passing, self-acceptance and cissexist, patriarchal norms about what a human body is supposed to look like. There's a lot to discuss there.

Sounds kinda rad to me.
