Topic: Hi everyone!

[EllieProcter]

Hi y'all!
This is probably the 4th time I've joined this site, as previously, I've denied to myself that I'm trans and told myself I'm nb or something (even though I've come out to a few people) but this time, I've finally had the courage to make a new account on this site, with the name I want, and not in incognito mode, which I feel is a big step!

Anyway, I'm Ellie, I just turned 17 and I'm MtF! I haven't started transitioning, but I've been working on dressing more androgynous, or even more stereotypically feminine, with stuff like nail polish, which I am quite proud of! I'm a big fan of Nintendo, and cartoons, with a little bit of weeb on the side. I've been doing martial arts since I was a kid, I play the trombone, and I'm obsessed with Tea, to the point that I've been training under a Gong-Fu tea master for a few years!

Hope we can all get along here!

Welcome to Susan's Place once again Ellie! I wish I would have figured this out when I was as young as you, but the late 70's may as well have been the dark ages as far as being transgender is concerned. You have plenty of time to make sure of the direction you want to take, and how far you need to go. There is a lot of information on this site, and many people who will help you along the way. I wish you all the best.

Love always -- Jessica Rose

Good evening Ellie,

Many of us here have been in denial as well. One thing is different, though. Most of us purge our cross dressing wardrobe, not our Susan's Place membership. 

Welcome back. We are not too difficult to get along with. 

See you around. Take care.

Hello.  Welcome to the group.  I think you will find a lot of supporters here.
