Hello :)

[allison]

Hi!
Although I am not trans, one of my best lifelong friends is.
I guess I have always wanted to understand being trans/genderqueer etc better, so I started googling stuff, and somehow ended up here. I have looked around for a few months and I have gained a bunch of new perspectives!
Sometimes I see a thread I want to comment on, so I made this account.
Just in case anyone wonders why I am on here, I don't want to intrude at all or anything.
Thanks a lot everyone (:

You are more than welcome here at Susan's. After all, we are just family. Your comments, observations and feelings are just as legitimate as anyone else's; and more than welcomed.

Lotsa huggs

Allison, that's great! The best ally is someone who knows and understands the wide range of Trans issues. You are a good friend for wanting to educate yourself on the subject. In the long run you will strengthen your long term friendship even more.

Hi Allison, it's nice to meet you! Everyone is welcome here, the only membership requirement is politeness. Being Australian seems to be helpful as well! See you around, hugs, Devlyn

Hi Allison! Welcome to Susan's. Im new myself but everyone here is very friendly and super helpful. (I am on the same side as you are, not trans myself but supporting someone who is... In my case my spouse) Kudos on being open minded and supportive!

Hey Allison,

A newby welcome to you. Bless you for supporting your trans friend and searching for answers for yourself, which only strengthens your bond with your friend and others. I know there are a lot of people that support us & the more we can educate creates a loving world for all of our human nuances. I am mtf cd and I say I am a student of life. I am sure you will find answers here and you have a voice. You are not an intrusion, you are an inclusion. Look forward to more communication.

Hugs

Devlyn,

Perhaps I could use your Aussie Ambassadorship to apply for Oz citizenship, seeing as they rule, I may as well join them.lol

Hi Jamie,

You are a very perceptive person to note these admirable traits

Devlyn,

You are most certainly welcome to approach our Charge d'Affaire in Boston for application for both Australian Citizenship and the Aussie Mafia. All applications are dealt with in strict confidence with the the 'GodMother' herself, none other than the infamous C.J. in person

Good luck. ..... Oh by the way, a lobotomy is an essential part of the application.  Ah? wa-ja say mate?
      
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs

[Devlyn]

Funny, my lobotomy scar is a bit low.......and on the wrong end! Hugs, Devlyn

[Catherine Sarah]

ODG !!!

Did those silly 'bloody' Aussies put you on the gurney upside down??

Oh dear .... good help is just impossible to get these days.

My profound apologies to you Devlyn dear.

If you want a refund, talk to the GodMother. I'll arrange the paperwork now ......

Huggs

Hi Allison and welcome to the site. It's wonderful that you are supporting your friend. We need more folks like yourself.

[Shantel]

Welcome Allison!
             Yes, by all means watch the Aussies, the term "Down Under" suddenly becomes meaningful here. They have their own Mafia with a secret initiation rite called walkabout. They're liable to pop up on different threads at odd times. I don't think they ever sleep.

Catherine Sarah,

I didn't notice your post to me until I realized the Show unread replies brought up responses to my comments. "You are a very perceptive person to note these admirable traits." How kind of you, you are a darling. Humble deep bow.

I tried the Show unread posts & was afraid I would bring the whole site crashing down. lol

A lobotomy, yikes.  "wa-ja say mate?" Sending application to Cindy next Quantas flight. I hear you have to watch out for 'roos, but I love Kuala marsupials.

Enjoy
Hugs
Jamie

The way QUANTAS is going I won't expect it any time soon.

Devlyn, what do you mean it's at the wrong end, we were looking for your brain!!

Catherine made me say that, yes she did. cross my heart and drink a VB.
