Hi Danille,

Welcome to Susan's Place.I think you'll find many area of this site very helpful. Among them are those Stephanie has mentioned, but there is also the chat rooms. Here you have immediated feed back,and if you have ever chatted before you be right at home, if not your not rushed and there are private chats available too if your wanting to sound out and vent your feelings.

I'm Leah's Significant Other. Leah and I have been married 25 years this June. She is Male to Female transitioning and been on HRT for about 18 months now. Her story is also in the introductions as is mine and then in Signifigant Others Forum there are a few more post telling how it's been since finding out about Leah's desires almost 6 years ago now. Maybe they can give you some insight that your not alone and it's even a natural thing to denie the issues or surpress them for so long a time.

Any way welcome again, I look forword to reading more from you.

Smiles,
Peggiann

Hello Danille,
I'm Jillieann and GID Cross Dresser.
I was very confused when I came here too.
But the people here at Susan's have been a great help.
Take your time looking around the site and if you have any questions just ask.
It's nice to meet you.

HI Danille, yep yep yep, where do we fit in. Well self acceptance is the first step. I told my therapist I am a real basket case and he replied well you seem well adjusted (dressed up to the nines with a fab new haircut) So you never can tell.

Welcome to Susan's.

Sara.

Welcome, Danille, how wonderful it is that you've chosen to join us! 

I get the feeling you may be feeling pretty isolated right now but that will change now that you've found your way here.  This is a perfect space to learn and share and listen with all of the wonderful people here.  Although it was not part of my life, many here have been through the military and can relate to you on that level also.

Stephanie already gave you the lowdown on the site, all I can say is that she's quite right, it is a huge storehouse of information as well as support and communication.  I avoid the information overload that can occur from surfing the web (previously has, actually) by limiting myself to this site almost exclusively,  Not only is there alot of factual information but also, reading the forums, you get to see the personal side of the phenomenon.

I'll be looking forward to reading more from you and am again happy to say,

WELCOME
helen

sorry about thew intro i always get a rush of thoughts when i talk about this almost like letting everything out at once and thank you for the welcome

[Jillieann Rose]

Don't apologize. Your introduction is just fine.
My introductory posting was much like yours when I joined.
Welcome

Hi Danille,

Welcome to Susan's. As you are already finding out you have come to a very helpful and freindly place. You can really loose yourself in this site and in doing so find yourself. So fix yourself a cup of tea or other relaxing beverage, sit down take your shoes off and set a spell.

Good Journey,

Cassie

i have been in and out of girls things since about age 6 . i have purged and did the marine corps for about 10 years but i find myself back into womans clothing and knowing somethings not right. 

Hi Danille,

Welcome to Susan's!  So many of us here have similar stories, starting very young, purging our things at some point in time (thinking if we get rid of all our feminine things maybe it will just go away), and finding out later that it just doesn't go away, and that our feminine desires become stronger with time.
I think most of us can identify with what you are going through, so feel free to visit with us.  You are amongst friends here.  Sometimes it helps just to talk things out.  We are listening, so feel free to post often.  Good luck on your journey!

thank you for the welcome.  a bit more about me lol. i was in the chat room and asked if i felt like a girl in a mans body well all i can say to  this i think i rationlise this and say i feel like me and i dont know how a girl feels and from the things i do i know its not how a guy feels. i dont know if this makes sense to anyone as farr as wearing clothing i have been dressing not in an obvious manner all the time for a couple of years now ya know comfortable like jeans t shirt or clothes that are not gender specific. only thing i dress male totally for is work i have a certain sset of clothes that i have to wear for that a uniform if you will. things that may hold back anything is that i have 2 girls my daughters who live with mei think my oldest kind of knows some things, but not sure . but i worry about them and how their friend may react to all this but i guess its a point for a theripst when i find one .

Hi Danille, I am new here aslo. Welcom. I have been in and out of womens clothes for 30 years and have gone back and forth from male to female in that time. Now I'm back to being female hopfuly for good. This site has been very helpful to me and I think you will find it helpful too. Cheers

Owen

Love being female

Danielle, It was good to talk to you on Susan's Chat. I think I mentioned there that the older daughter may be more accepting than the younger one but no-one can really be sure how they will react. My Doctor said that I need to tread carefully with my Son who is only 11. He already has had the talk about my gender issues and he was ok with it and keeps asking questions everyday, so my partener and I will guide him through it so that when his friends do say something aweful about me (have already been labeled "Gay" by one kid) he will see that we do not et upset by this and hopefully he will learn to cope.

It is a little different with girls because they are much more understanding when explained things properly so I would suggest letting the therapist or Doctor have a word to them about it. Remember young ones these days know more about gender as they have access to the internet and possibly know of people at school who have issues of gender so they may actually be more understanding than you expect.

Sara.
