Hello EmilynMy name is
Sarah B and I would also like to formally Welcome you to Susan's Place!
I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. It's wonderful that you have such a clear sense of who you are and the life you want to live. It takes a lot of courage to express these feelings especially at your age and we are glad you are here seeking help.
Coming out is a personal journey and it's okay to take your time with it. One thing that might help is finding someone you trust, maybe a close friend, a supportive family member or even a school counsellor to talk to first. This is extremely important as puberty changes are occurring and the effects can be very damaging to ones body, given your desire to be a female. It is also important to realise that there are people who love you for who you are and will want to support your happiness and well being.
You deserve to be yourself and though it can feel scary, you are not alone in this. There is a whole community here for you ready to listen and support you as you navigate this path. You are already incredibly brave just by being yourself and we believe in you!
Once you feel comfortable here it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the other forums and threads. I would appreciate it very much as I'm always interested in learning something new about new members
In addition members of Susan's will more than likely will discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these issues as well.
Take care and all the best for the future.
Once again Welcome to Susan's Place!Best Wishes AlwaysSarah BGlobal Moderator@Lori Dee @Northern Star Girl @Emilyn Jessica Felker
