Hi... I'm Susan, and I'm 31. I was born male, but I've always been a little... off. I always identified more closely with females than males, and I've always been more comfortable in female company than male. I'm somewhat feminine-looking, with long hair, and I used to be able to pass as female without even trying (I can't anymore, curse the flow of time). I did a good amount of cross-dressing in college, but shelved that, and a lot of female feelings, attitudes and wants, after I graduated, got married, and got a job. I have never really been comfortable being male, though, and often identify as female online.
At the same time, I started referring to myself as Susan in my head. I don't know why or how that started, but it felt really natural. So whenever I needed to say something to myself, I'd think "You can do it, Susan," or "Pull it together, Susan, you can do this," or "Put the pie down, Susan, there's a good girl."
A few months ago, after a lot buildup, I admitted to myself that I'd rather be female, and that yes, this was a real thing. It kind of blew up on me. But since, I've been expressing myself as female more, including wearing women's clothes around the house, and I honestly have to say I have never felt better about myself. I finally like my body, I feel sexy and pretty, and I feel... right. Yuh, nothing I'm sure hasn't been said a million times, but that's my story.
So far my wife and a few people I know online are the only ones who know. My wife has been awesomely supportive, and we've been bonding over shopping for clothes and jewelry. An online friend suggested this place, and I checked it out (how could I resist a place called Susan's? I ask you). I'm hoping to see him around here, too.
Anyway. Um. Hi!
-Susan
