Well hey y'all I'm glad to be a new member of the Susan's Place family. I'm Adrian, an 18 yo FtM from the Panhandle of Texas. I enjoy anything southern, except the bigotry. I'm currently pre-everything in terms of gender affirming care, but I do hope to obtain some ways on how to better feel like my true gender and hopefully make some new friends on this exciting journey. Have a wonderful day y'all!
Love who you love, do what you want, and live life to the fullest. They're gonna talk about you anyways so might as well make their conversation interesting. Live as yourself, not someone everyone else wants you to be.

Well April, first off love the name and I'm guessing Marie is your middle name, in which case same. And I hope your transition and transformation are going well for you. I hope to see more of you around the forums!

Hi!

    Welcome Adrian!


Chrissy
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Home of arguably the best meat-master chefs in the world. Welcome to the site, Adrian. The religion you folks have for meat and the proper preparation of said animal products... yeah... I could easily live in Texas. Quite happily.

Good to have you here! <3

Friends and a vast range of experience on which to draw on and consider is what this place is all about... All good things to you as you find your way to the things you need to make your life the one you want!...

Hill Country is beautiful, but y'all should come to Amarillo during September for the rodeo. It's a family tradition for me and it's definitely something worth putting on your bucket list!

I am, don't worry about that. It's amazing having a community that has gone through or going through similar things to myself. It's freeing in a place that makes me feel like I have to hide who I am.

Yeah... can I have your babies? <3 I am a massive sucker for a well cooked steak. That's the best way to my heart, lol. ;D

We usually get a few briskets a year flown in from Texas! Usually Terry Blacks or Franklin's! When we are there we also love The Salt Lick, The Iron Works in Austin and Smitty's out in Lockhart! 💕🤗💕 After we OD and can't do any more BBQ we have some fine TexMex, maybe a relaxing float on the Comal River in New Braunfels and take in a show at Gruene Hall, The Paramount or The Continental Club... We saw Jerry Jeff Walker RIP many times... I really love Ray Wylie Hubbard!... Putting Amarillo on the list!!!  😀👍

This made me think.

Keep babies and other small children away from the carnivorous vampire.  ;D  :-*  :laugh:  :-*

Franklin's is staple Texas BBQ. Hope to hear abt your experience in Amarillo! Hope you've gone to the boardwalk in San Antonio, it's so fun and beautiful if you go during the right time of year

Ha... We had a big delay at the airport once flying into San Antonio... we stayed at the Hyatt there across from The Alamo and after the long day of flying we hit the river walk to find some food... everything was decked out in Christmas lights for the holidays but, deserted and closed because it was like 1 or 2 in the morning... then we came across the only place open... a 24 hour TexMex place... it was so good after the long day and we might of had a couple Margaritas to seal the deal as well 😀👍

I drink my morning coffee in a Buc-ees cup lol 😅👍
