Hello everyone

[Azuladaplanta]

Hi, Im 20, Im sorry if I do not write pretty well, English is not my native lenguague. I came here looking to interact with people who might understand me, since I dont feel I can really talk about this with people I know.

I always felt Hapiness when imagining myself as a woman, wanted to use feminine clothing or feeling that it was a shame that I was born as a man (biologically). When I was like 12, I ended up "accepting" myself as man, "someone who would have liked to be a woman, but accepts himself as a man"

But now I don´t think I can keep with that anymore, I cannot accept myself as a man, a huge part of me feels as a woman, and suffers with that lack of self-recognition. I fear I might feel so bad because I dont want to accept myself.

So I have decided to see if it makes me happy trying to fulfill my dreams of being a woman, accepting me and living as one. Being honest, Im very excited about it.

I still dont have a name, because Im so insecure about eveything, but my username is azulada planta, because they are two "feminine" words in spanish and they are special for me.

Hope I didnt say anything weird and have a good day, or night.

Hello Azulada,

I'm Lori Dee. Welcome to Susan's Place!

Thank you for that wonderful introduction.

We strive to make this a safe place to find information and share your thoughts and comments. No matter who you are, you are always welcome at Susan's Place.

What you have experienced is perfectly normal. We all have experienced the same thing in one way or another. You are among friends here. What will make the biggest difference is how you accept yourself. These feelings were not taught to you; they come from deep inside you. It is up to you to decide how you will handle them.

The best advice is to seek out a therapist who has experience in Gender Identities. They can help you get answers to your questions and can be a friendly face to talk to about very personal issues. Times can be difficult, so having someone there to help you through it will be a very good thing to have. And of course, we will always be here if you need to talk about a rough time, or if you want to celebrate a small victory.

This website is huge, with a lot of information from Real People who have lived through these things for decades. There is much wisdom here. Feel free to browse, learn, and share your experiences too. We all learn from each other.

When you click on the HOME button, you will see a page listing all of the various sub-forums by category and topic. Each sub-forum has a description of what that forum is about, as well as any guidelines for posting.

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.

I will add links below that are important for new and returning members. Pay special attention to the links in RED.

Until then, if you have any questions about the Susan's Place site and the Forums, please feel free to contact me at    LoriDee605@outlook.com

Once again, welcome to Susan's Place!

¡Bienvenida Azulada Planta!

You haven't said anything weird at all. Everything you said makes perfect sense, including what you're experiencing. The large majority of us have gone through very similar experiences.

And congratulations! Feeling excited about finally being yourself is worthy of support - and you will receive that support here.

I hope you will continue to visit and to write more about yourself. Truly, your English in your first post was excellent. You have nothing to worry about there.

Con mucho amor,
Pema

Welcome to our wonderful and supportive community, Azuladaplanta! It takes courage to share your story publicly as you just have.

Your authenticity and self-awareness shine through in what you've shared about your journey and what lies ahead. Moving from trying to "accept" yourself as something that didn't feel right to now embracing the possibility of living authentically takes incredible strength. Your excitement about exploring who you truly are comes through clearly in your words, and that joy is beautiful to witness.

Your English is excellent, by the way—you communicate your thoughts and feelings with remarkable clarity. "Azulada planta" is a lovely choice; there's something deeply meaningful about selecting words that feel feminine and significant to you as you begin this journey of self-discovery.

The feelings you've described—the happiness when imagining yourself as a woman, the sense that something was missing when trying to live as a man—resonate with so many people here. You're not alone in having spent years trying to push these feelings aside, only to realize they're an essential part of who you are.

As you explore this path, remember to be patient and gentle with yourself. There's no rush to have everything figured out immediately, including choosing a name. These things often emerge naturally as you continue learning about yourself. The most important thing is that you're finally listening to your authentic self after years of trying to silence that inner voice.

This community will be here to support you through the questions, discoveries, and celebrations along the way. Your story matters, and you belong here. Sending warm wishes as you begin this exciting chapter of living authentically.

With love and support,
— Susan
