i kinda want to go to a bar and socialize with strangers, but i have like no idea what im doing. i didnt really before transitioning but now i feel completely lost. if anyone could give me like a basic outline of the social etiquette it would help so much. i realize this is probably the most autistic question i could ask. it gives me so much anxiety even going to a bar, let alone trying to talk to someone.


thank you so much for this reply. this is exactly what i was looking for. im auDHD too so your perspective is perfect haha. thankfully im in a big progressive city in the US so im less worried about running into bigots or people who’ve never seen/met a trans woman before. its really just the social anxiety and not knowing what im supposed to do. i also find turning down strangers profoundly easy for some reason. maybe something to do with my neurodivergence now that you mention it lol.
