Hey @BlueTrane,
It's great to see you looking beyond your own personal views and being accepting of people no matter what their beliefs. Something that is really challenging to do especially if you don't view religion in the same way as another person.
Growth as individuals and in relationships are important in our recovery. Beaking down boundaries that don't serve a positive outcome is a real strength in yourself. Great to see that the process is something that you value.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here in this space!
Best wishes
RiverSeal

Today I met someone who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community and we have become quick friends. I am seeing them tomorrow and we are going on a little road trip.

Hi. I have just had one of the wonderful support workers point me in this direction.
I am unsure how alone I am re my sexuality. I love women / females. I totally support sexual equality for all. My thing is I feel as a Lesbian trapped in a Man's body.
I think this is possibly a difficult concept to understand. I don't want to get in trouble by being too graphic, but I so often imagine how great it would be to be in a females arms as a female.
I hope what I have said is okay.
Hello to all in this forum.

Hey @IsAnybodyThere 😊
What you have said is perfectly ok, and I also don't think it's a difficult concept for me to understand- what you have described sounds very similar to experiences of people I know who have come to understand that they are trans lesbians.
I don't know if you've thought about labels and identities like that (and I certainly don't mean to put any on you- that's something for you to decide for yourself)- but I do want to express that you're not alone in these kinds of feelings, and that there can be positive ways forward.
In thinking about these things (I do identify as trans), I've found that time and space, trusted/safe people or services, community and learning from others' experiences (often online) has been helpful for me in understanding who I really am.
I'll tag some other members who've been involved in this thread so they can see your post above, if anyone would have any other perspectives to share 💗
