Greetings everyone!!

Hi Michelle,

Welcome to Susan's I hope you enjoy your time here with us. You will find that Susan's is full of people with helpful advise and caring attitudes. As to coming out I think that you need to ask yourself if they need to know. Obviously close members of family would fall into that category particularly if your going to transition.

A number of people here have found that a letter is a good way to get it all out in one hit and that it gives the recipient of your information time to adjust to the news. Honesty does apear to be the most important aspect of telling others as is an explanation of how you feel and what you have experienced to get to where you are now. 

Hope this helps.

Hi Melissa

Girls don't fight boys, they manipulate them.

Manipulating boys, that's something what I need to learn first, but I will give everything from myself to do so, it's a better way than fight against them, I know  .

Hi Shelley,

I do enjoy here at Susan's, especially now when we got a new candidate for the president of the states.
I'm not the citizen of the US unfortunately but I would voted for Cassandra Anna Hefton  if I could.Still didn't read everything about her.
Yes, I would like to go to the end, to transition, but the parents  ... will see how the rest of you did it, still need many things to read, to inform myself with every information I can get and than will see how to tell them.

Hello Night Angle,

Nice to see you kicking in here so quickly.  Don't fret to much about gender confusion and worrying so much about gender confusion.  I started rather young in age then backed out of it for about 3 decades by going complete total male to the full extent and then folding back on myself again.  It became a necessity.

My family already knew, but I simply began to reprossess myself to them, they thought I had reverted to male.  I simply let my appearance drag along behind me until my wardrobe caught up with me again and then simply switched into full time projection.

It was a bit of a challenge for sometime but I found I was big enough to handle it and I always seemed to come through, both personally and professionally.  It was a shock to most of course, but eventually all seemed to catch on after a bit and I began to obtain obseptance, both at work and personally.

It would seem that if you are truely serious then it will fall from the internal stream out to them.  So much the merrier.  Just make sure you never seem to be in doubt.  It is even getting to where I no longer have to be apprehensive or merrier to get it across to them, they just seem to accept it.

It's all up to you Night Angle, just how quickly you want to get it done.  A little rough for some a little light for others, but if you are going with it, just carve your own picture.  Eventually they will get most of it pretty quickly.

Your daughters will adapt to you fine, all four of mine, 23 to 35 in age and my son ... he's retarted but accepted as well.  It's been harder for my wife, but it generally is, but she is accepting me well.  I haven't spoken to my mother in years and she is still repeating it to be a necessity of some kind, but the psychs all agree that all I need it the money and it will be a done deal.

Not sure yet when I will be going back to work, but when I find the money I need I'm home free.  I hope you will find it just as easily.

Plan it up

pull up the anchor
live your life

Hello Dear Stainless-Steel Woman - Terri Gene,

Not me, it's nice to see that you kicking here so quickly!!!!
The only problems by me is that I afraid to tell that to my parents, mostly father, he will never understand or accepted me as a daughter ... he was always proud that he got at least one son and two daughters  ...  well actually he got three daughters, just he don't know yet  ...
I'm in NO doubt about what I want, don't worry.I saw story in some magazin about Transsexuals first time when I was almost 18 years and at the same moment I knew what I am and what I want in my life ,it's more than 20 years from than now and I still want 100% change from MTF.No doubt about that.I travel, quite a lot and when I see all those womans ... I don't know, I would cry days, if I could ... why, I'm not one of them, why? 
It would be the best to just moved to another city and there start on fresh, but you know how it is about jobs, everywhere the same, in the states and europe ... thank God I'm not married, I believe that it was even harder for you and your wife, but you manage , Congratulations !!!
Thank you Dear Terri Gene!!
