AYRT
Well, to be frank, I haven't gone to one either. Friend told me they were very depressing, at least in our home town, and I'm not a very social person anyway.

I think most trans headcanons and how should I say it, how formulaic they are, might as well come from limited access to resources (Glee-episodes and what have you). That makes some of them very embarrassing (I find some parts of fandoms who like to insist on character's transness very hard to deal with) but most of it is just very very boring.

We need variety. And less screaming, preferably.

It probably does depend on the crowd that week, but the ones I was receptionisting for (lgbtq* centre) definitely being a support group on top of discussion meant it would be depressing at many points. There is also, anger, hope, humour, and small talk, so I would probably go for the more general "emotional". It was popular enough to get a split for youth and another for friends and family of.

Yes. Less screaming por favor.

A good friend of my used to be involved with a Pride center a lot, and he said he had to leave because it was so full of emoting, drama, and angst. I mean, I understand why it kind of has to be that way (it's a space for people to work out their issues) but I also get it can be quickly exhausting to spend a lot of time in that environment.

Oh definitely. I'm lucky that mine is not only well run, with a lot of varied programming, but that it attracts all types too since it serves as a spot with connections to near every group and business in the city. My biggest reason for volunteering was to meet and talk to more people from all walks of life. Otoh, I know folk who don't enjoy the atmosphere of such places, and also don't feel the need to use them. Same with uni clubs, or recreation groups (those don't tend to act as confessional though, as they're more social).

Tbf, I had to quit volunteering once the duties changed.
