In certain areas I'm a mixture of stereotypes- trans man who loves the gym, metal, cars and cried when he watched "I saw the tv glow" ; gay/bi man who loves his boyfriend and has whole posts and albums dedicated to him, who rewatches queer movie classics as if on schedule, who played hundreds of visual novels; the immigrant who learned to hide his accent, who learned to speak his own language in the privacy of his own home, hiding his culture under his sleeve; the writer with the troubled childhood, the one who daydreamed and avoided all else to lose himself in papers and notes; the valedictorian who sacrificed outings to ace papers, the teachers pet that cried over anything other than a perfect A; the nerd who watches movies and programs hours on end, bad at videogames but great at understanding their dynamics. But at the end of the day, I'm the collage of everything that makes me up. I'm a kaleidoscope of evil around me, sometimes even within me, and the beauty of life, as well as everything that could possibly be in between. At the end of the day, some of the words just stick to the bottom of my mouth, until I type them out or whisper them into the dark, as meaningless as they may seem. That is my general intro.

Thank you for that wonderful introduction!

I think you will find that we all have a lot in common. Our paths are similar, but how we navigate them is unique to us. You sound like just the kind of guy we enjoy having here.

Our members are warm, accepting, and very supportive. As you browse the forums, you might even find some stories that are very similar to yours. We have a few other guys that have recently joined us, and I am sure that they will be along to welcome you too.

If you get lost or need help with something, just reach out, and someone will be along shortly.

Again, welcome to Susan's Place!

Welcome, Chilaquil. You sound a lot like a lot of us - a unique, complex individual who's trying to find and express everything that lies within. We're very glad you've joined us.

Woe!

I've marveled and pondered over your introduction for hours.

It's truly an act of self-love and courage.

So, just... thank you.

For letting us in and showing that identity doesn't have to be neat or fixed it can be beautiful, complex, vulnerable, and very much alive.

I relate to so much of what you shared, as someone who identifies as non-binary and genderfluid.

Your collage metaphor really resonated with me.

Embracing all those layered identities allowing them to coexist in contradiction and harmony isn't a weakness...

...but a profound strength when we begin to understand and honor them.

Welcome to Susan's Place! 💞

Always  look forward, there's no ⏳ to look  🔙. You are the person you were always meant to be.
Remember: if you focus too much on the destination,  you'll miss all the amazing stuff in-between.

Hi!


     Welcome Chilaquil!


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.
