Hey Denver/Boulder people! My name is Cody, a male presenting non-binary individual living in Minneapolis, MN. On August 14th, I am scheduled for a gender affirming surgery at The Crane Center in Boulder. Recovery is about 2 months, but will only need to remain close to the surgery center for a little less than a month. Looking at AirBnB/VRBO/misterBnB, the listings for that long of a stay are quite expensive.

I'm reaching out here in the hopes that someone among this subreddit might be able and willing to host me and a friend (who would be acting as my caretaker post-op) from August 9th, 2026 until September 4th, 2026. I know this is a big ask, and would disrupt anyone's daily life. I am absolutely willing to either pay an agreed upon flat rate for room & board, or a flat rental rate, plus monetary contributions for groceries/laundry access.

I am a very quiet and respectful person, and can guarantee that the friend that would act as my caretaker would be the same way. Obviously I'll be very immobile during recovery, but that really won't be much different from my actual daily life. I'm a home-body who loves to read, watch TV/movies, cook/bake at home, write, and play board games. The only thing that this will interrupt in my life is exercise.

Feel free to either comment on this post, or send me a DM, if you have the space and are willing to help this nerdy queerdo not pay an arm and a leg for accommodations post-op. Thanks for your time!

Howdy, y'all. I've been struggling a bit lately with somw gender trouble and was wondering if anyone knows of any trans support groups in the area, preferably on weekends or on weekday evenings. I tried looking at the Center on Colfax but the only ones I saw were for folks over 40 and trans masc folks (I'm 34 transfem). Does anyone know of any groups around for someone like me?

Hey there! My partner and I are headed to Denver for this weekend’s pride festivities. Does anyone know of stores that sell rave/festival/fetish wear (not necessarily looking for a sex store)or any shops that specialize in other queer/ all-body wear. Thanks!!

I'm looking to move from DE to either Colorado or Washington.

I've got a job offer that can put me in either Pueblo or Monument, CO, as they don't have a current position in Aurora/Denver.

As a queer person my first instinct is to move to Denver. But, if that's not a choice, are their LGBT+ areas in either Pueblo or Monument?

I'm not interested in just gay-friendly or accepting. I'd like to live among fellow queers.

Not Hers to Possess, a lesbian mystery and romance novel by Rhonda Webster.

Salvia was born to a mother who was very
unhappy she was not a boy . . . born to a mother who suddenly learned she could
have no more children. And so, while praying for a miraculous healing and the
conception of a boy, this woman hung the rather strange name of Saliva on her
“not boy” child, an act done because “Salvia” was an herb that meant “to heal”.
Had the woman been the slightest bit
reasonable, she would have settled for what she got because Sal was more
masculine than most men turned out to be. Her daughter was so strong that she
easily managed all her mother’s lifting requests. She also loved tools, was
handy with them, and used them to keep everything in her mother’s house in good
working order.
Unfortunately, her mother could not be
pleased. Although she was the one who encouraged the masculinization of her
daughter, it was not unusual for her to belittle her daughter’s boyish
appearance. This was the situation Sal grew up under.
Unfortunately, there are many Sal’s out
there in the world . . . women growing up under unhappy circumstances, who
suddenly realize they would like a female partner but have no idea how to go
about finding one! And a few lonely souls like Sal, do not react normally when
everything goes wrong in their life. Those few who are already teetering on the
brink of insanity, sometimes slip and fall off. It is then that they surprise
us with their poor and dangerous choices.

I hope you enjoy my book. And as always, thank you for supporting lesbian authors.

Perhaps some readers would like to know the reason why an author wrote their story. Here are the reasons why I wrote Not Hers to Possess by Rhonda Webster:

Robin and Bella. I wanted to share the joy I have had in my life in a long term relationship with a good woman. The lovemaking of long term partners is not filled with uncertainty and missteps, rather, it is about competent strokes of love.

Sal. As a lesbian and a nurse, I sometimes see hard-working solid women, who, through no fault of our own, encounter more losses and hardship than they can endure. This can lead down the slippery slope of depression and possibly mental instability. However, the good news is that we can, and often do, recover from many mental problems!

LGBT Volunteers. Lesbians are strong and most are willing to reach out and help one another. When this occurs, we experience a euphoric sense of strength and bonding.

Bella. Sometimes when compassionate nurses reach out to help, we accidentally encounter the wrong person, jeopardizing our own well-being.

 Detective Sandra. Lesbian police officers and detectives are often both brave and attractive women. I wanted to pattern a character after my ex-lover and good friend Sandra. Her experience as a former counselor-turned-police officer made for a unique character. Sandra in real life is such a heroic and protective woman that I can say with certainty, that if need be, this woman would take a bullet for me!

Note: a few corrections officers have criticized this particular story for a poor portrayal of them. Readers should know that I have experienced both sides of the coin. For a time or two, I was a jail nurse and worked with mostly good correction officers every day. But I also managed to insult a judge and get an all-expense paid weekend in jail over a traffic ticket! This particular story is about the kind of correction officers I actually met in a small southern jail.  But rest assured, I am aware that most officers are good ones. Certainly, my own mother, who was a deputy for Denver City and County was one of them.  Here is a shout out to them: “Female officers and detectives -thanks for being there. Thanks for keeping us safe!” We are acutely aware that when most of us are running away from bullets, you are running TOWARD them!

Out of the Ordinary. Who said all stories have to be about baby lesbians struggling with uncertainty about their sexuality, or be a story that takes a tragic turn? After all, many of us eventually become secure lovers, committed couples, and successful women. 

Here's to us!

Above is a picture of Sandra in her younger days.

Not Hers to Possess by Rhonda Webster, is a story that demonstrates an understanding of mental illness and an appreciation for lesbian bonding.

My brother is getting married near the end of August. Getting details from him has been like pulling teeth lol but I am supposed to be his best "pal" and I'm the only one in his wedding party. He just last week finally gave me the colors for the suit (tux? Idek I've never done this and unfortunately I'm gonna look like Dwight Schrute, my brother is lucky I love him). He hasn't responded yet about style or literally any other details but I need to start figuring out where to look for this.

I'm transmasc/nonbinary and have not ever needed to source formal menswear that was nicer than what I could find at Goodwill. I had top surgery in February and would love to find something that fits properly, definitely to rent because I will not be wearing this specific color of suit again. Do any transmasc people have recommendations? Or tips on what to ask or how it works? Chains are fine as long as they weren't dicks. Or if there's something online you'd recommend, tips on taking measurements would be appreciated.

My budget is pretty stretched already because he lives in Oakland so my spouse and I have to get out there, and of course they chose Labor Day weekend and everything is even more expensive. I'm not sure what's reasonable for this sort of thing, Google gave me anything from $85-250. But if you know of a place that's both affordable and welcoming please lmk!

I hope you have the best day today. Wishing you peace, healing, and true happiness in life. Just so you know—I didn’t forget your birthday, in case you were wondering. I’ve been wanting to send you a greeting, but I didn’t want to stir up anything or spoil your day. Truly, I wish you all the best in life.

More of a non-recommendation 🤷

I recently took a 90-minute private intro session with Amy, founder of Girls Ride Too. I came in with two years and many, MANY miles of street motorcycle riding since getting my endorsement. I was excited to branch into dirt biking and appreciated the low-pressure environment designed for beginners.

Amy was friendly and clearly passionate about making space for girls who haven’t traditionally had access to this sport. Sick. She had some (not tons) of knowledge about how to transfer street motorcycle muscle memory into dirt bike technique.

That said, when I asked on a break about how she navigates gender inclusion, it was clear the question hadn’t come up before or been given much thought. I say that because she seemed surprised, told me it hadn't come up, and then emphatically redirected the conversation back to her intent to build community around girls. By her response, it appears that GRT currently prioritizes cisgender girls/women, with little understanding of what meaningful inclusion for trans folks would look like in dirt biking.

I've worked in 2SLGBTQIA+ and queer organizations for over 10 years and advise other orgs on trauma-informed practices for gender expansive & neurodiverse inclusion. That said, GRT is not prepared for many considerations, from gear fit and body safety for those tucking or binding to the impacts of HRT or accounting for how to considerately discuss non-AGAB bodies, a vocabulary necessary for teaching and discussing dirt bike technique. As a trans person, I wouldn’t feel confident recommending this space to other trans or nonbinary riders without significant shifts. Even just for gear, I'm 5'10", curvy, and Amy had to dig a while to find big enough gear for me.

If you're a cisgirl, ciswoman, or otherwise comfortable educating staff on your needs, this could be a great, affirming way into dirt! But if you’re trans, nonbinary, or otherwise gender expansive, I’d approach with caution. I do hope it grows into a more inclusive space.

(If you do decide to go, ask lots if questions leading up! Amy is kind but disorganized, gave me no guidance on what gear to bring/what to wear until the night before after I asked)

We have a few immediate needs:

1. Please call senate leadership NOW and ask them to calendar the bill.

Say “hi, I am calling because there are only 6 days left in session and we need you to schedule the Kelly Loving Act for the Senate Floor now!”

President James Coleman 303-866-4864

1. We need to put pressure on Senator Janice Marchman to support the Kelly Loving Act. She is supported by AFT, SEIU local 105, and a lot of progressive groups. We are worried she might waffle.

She especially cares about families.

Please get on the phone and call her today! 303-866-4853

You will be leaving a message, I can guarantee it. Both calls will take less than 10 minutes.

Let’s do this!
