I'm back!

[Liz K]

Well, sort of.  My name is Liz.  I was here a few years ago as Emily Alt.  I wasn't very active then, and can't say this go-round will be any different.  But I hope it is!  We'll see.

So, a little bit about me.  Liz is my legal name.  I'm sixty-something.  I look and live much younger.  I reside in a small town in rural Norfolk, UK.  I moved here from San Diego about three months ago.  Yes, I left the US for what I hope are greener pastures in the UK.  It helps that I have a network of close friends here.  Norfolk is peaceful and quaint.  The locals have been very accepting.  I feel safe here.  The one big city, Norwich, is a short drive.  It has everything one might expect from a big city without being overwhelming.

I started my transition four years ago.  HRT and some cosmetic stuff so far.  I plan to have surgery to better align my body and mind.  I'm very OUT and living authentically.  I get gendered correctly most of the time, but don't worry about passing.  Our community benefits when they see a trans woman who's not a threat.

Why did I come back?  I need a better outlet.  I'm on a couple of other support sites.  One is massive and is a toxic dump of doomerism and trolls.  The other is a smaller support site that's quite restrictive.  I love that it's an oasis from toxicity.  But I can't freely speak my mind either.  From what I remember of Susan's, I think it will fill that gap.

So that's about it for now.  Looking forward to getting to know you.  Would love to meet any local UK girls that are out there.

Hugs,
Liz

Hi Liz,

Welcome back!  The locals are very accepting where I live.  I have a huge rose garden in my front yard for people who take walks.

Welcome back, Liz K!

I think you remembered correctly about Susan's being the right place. Yes, we have rules, but that is for everyone's benefit, as you may understand. Feel free to comment and share your experiences here. We all learn from each other.

Looking forward to seeing you around the Forums.

Hi Liz

My name is Sarah and I would also like to formally, Welcome you Back to Susan's Place!

I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well.

Norfolk sounds lovely.  Quiet lanes, gentle skies and friendly faces.  Norwich close by with culture, shops and coffee.  It is easy to see why you feel safe.  However I have never been to Norfolk, so how would I know? You will have to describe it a bit more.  Yes, I live in Australia but originally hail from England.

A fresh start after San Diego is a big step.  I am glad you have a solid circle of friends.  I know what it is like moving from one country to another.  However I was only ten at the time and it was one of the best moves my parents ever made.  That kind of support makes all the difference.

Your openness shines through.  Living as yourself helps others more than you might ever know.  Grace, kindness and patience go a long way.

I hope Susan's gives you the outlet you want.  Share as little or as much as you like.  Ask questions, vent and celebrate your wins.

I am happy you are here Liz.  I look forward to hearing more about life in your village, your favourite spots and your small joys.

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.

Please keep in mind when posting that this is an ALL AGES PUBLIC Forum and the internet never forgets.  Do not post anything that you do not want to be made public.

Take care and all the best for the future.

Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!

Best Wishes Always
