Susan, congratulations.

To have invested so much for so long in helping others by way of this site takes a big heart and a generous spirit. To have done that for so long, all the while unable to live as your true self -- I'm speechless. You deserve every bit of the love and support you're getting, and much more. May you thrive, and have ever so much to smile about!

Congratulations Susan!  ;D

You have done so much for us you don't even know. You're a surrogate mother for all of us here. Thank you for giving us hope, a place to learn, to grow, and to educate each other. :)

You definitely deserve all this happiness and freedom to be yourself. From the looks of it, you have chosen your friends well, and I'm sure so many more will continue to celebrate with you.

Gorgeous! Hello Susan! I'm proud to be your friend if only on Facebook. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Susan, I will always like 'you" for the person you are. I believe Jesus 'imperative' to "love others as yourself" must be carried over to all people, regardless of gender identify. By the way - - I like your new profile picture.

At first I did not believe my eyes, I thought you came out years ago... I don't know why I had this assumption.

That is a wonderfully written letter and I am very happy for you and for the responses you got. Thank you for sharing.
After helping so many people may you have the chance to practice smiling a lot :)

Also let me thank you for the 20 years you have put into running this site!

This is totally awesome, as are you, Susan. With the support you have in your personal life, as well as online, you're certain to get through transition issues and onto your real life easily.
