Hey everyone! New to the forum

[Jeatyn]

Hi everyone  I'm Dawni, 19 years old. Biologically female and have never felt comfortable with it. Over the past few months I've come to the decision that I would like to go through the transition after many years of confusion about my gender and sexuality. I have come out to all my friends, but not family, I have no idea how to approach that at all. I also don't have much of an idea about contacting a doctor to talk about what I'd like to do. Looking for guidance and people to talk to. So that's me in a nutshell!

Hello, Dawni,

Welcome to Susan's Forum. I think you'll find that we are a pretty nice crew of folks and that many of us have much in-common with you. Those who don't often provide very valuable insights and povs for those of us who do resemble you in many ways, or at least have in the course of our lives.

It's very good to be able to welcome you here.

Please do read and follow The Site Rules and otherwise relax and enjoy your stay with us.

Hey I thought my job was lurking, its the one thing I'm really good at.

from the looks of your post count you are a terrible lurker 

[tekla]

I think of lurking as hiding in plain sight.  Instead of running away and not being seen, you hide by standing right next to the person.  It works.
