I agree this country is too big to compare with the UK.
Unfortunately, there was a "get together planned in Houston this past summer but it fell apart. I never heard whether it was ignorance or appathy (the "I don't know and I don't care syndrome).
I do belong to a CD group which meets monthly - it's in Fort Worth which is about an hour and a half north of here. It's a good group - social and educational - but getting out on the town is a problem. This is "red neck" country.
The groups in Dallas are more protected, luckily there is a section where every sort of TG is accepted....and police protected.
I'm sure it's the same story anywhere - know where you're going and who you'll be with. (Sounds like my mother's advice.)
There is a lively bunch in Austin - about one to to hours south - they meet monthly but I haven't had the opportunity to visit with them.
I might start posting any events that I hear about. Maybe that will stir the pot some.
hugs

The geography is against a lot of the US girls simply because of the size of your country. Imagine a TW get together in Dallas, how far would the east and west coast girls have to travel. That's before you even consider the cost of getting there and back and accomodation.
I don't think that there are necessarily more TG girls in the UK, but given the small size of the country, it's much easier to find somewhere within a couple of hours drive or train ride away.
