Why do you come to Susan's?

[Mahsa Tezani]

I feel I am very successful and rather than living in "stealth" I'd rather hear a different perspective and maybe inspire some people. To learn, to grow. I am not really part of the transgendered community IRL, so I reserve the stuff to online forums.

[Hulud]

To socialize
To gain knowledge
To become part of the online community
To learn how do deal with certain issues
To understand my SO
To support my SO

[fionabell]

I just need as much support as i can get. I'm weak like that. And proud of it!

[~RoadToTrista~]

Ugh, I can't even imagine sorting all of this out by myself. Plus it helps me cope a lot. And you know, socializing is nice too, I'm really repressed everywhere else, not so much at home but mainly at school and other places and on other forums and stuff.

[Felix]

I come here to feel safe.

[Katie138]

To share my knowledge and expereinces
And
To support my SO.  

[rosetyler]

Up until this week, I posted/lurked on a different trans* related forum, but due to various reasons, will no longer be frequenting that board.  I think I'll be be coming here from now on for the learning and such.  Also to support a few friends.

[Tuatha]

To understand/support my SO, and because I know next to nothing about transgender lives, but I'm starting to get somewhere now thanks to this forum and you wonderful people

[Jaime]

I dunno, curiosity maybe. I used to be more a part of the trans community, but over the last several years, I pulled back and I guess I am sort of sticking my head back in to see if anything has really changed.

[Jennifer]

I visit Susan's to learn from others knowledge and experience. Thank you to Susan and all the positive people!

I love it because its not so personal which can quickly become a clique and that can become a place where people start trying to trash each other or the lowest on the totem pole where soon there are only a few who stay because they dare not be seen for who they are in the public at large so they are then forced to stay connected and yet they start looking for new people to join and thusly attack again the person they feel is the lowest on their totem pole.


Yepper here at susans you can get lost in the crowd and be a part of many crowds and know that somewhere here is a place for everybody..

its not a place where people are put into power as monitors who then seek people they can boot..

yepper gotta love susans and the variety 

[Azmaria]

Keaira has been linking me here since i've known her and i've read the forums a fair bit, but now i think i need another community for support with all that's going on...

I once wrote a 300 word composition in one sentence to get back at my teacher.. Yea my mind gets going and it doesn't stop for grammer.

[niamh]

Because the people on this forum are the closest I get to interacting with trans people and this forum is the only place where I can interact as trans and as female.

[King Malachite]

I came here for the food.....

Lol no I really came here as a method of coping and meeting other trans folks since there are no LBGT resources/groups near me or no hope of transitioning anytime soon.  If this site wasn't available then I would go insane.

[Jam]

Me too, they don't half make a mean burger. That reminds me I used to have a forum once with my friends and we had a 'bar' where we used to 'eat' and 'drink' whilst chatting and pretend to steadily get drunk. We had quite a few bar fights as well. You couldn't say we didn't have imagination.

I come on here to chat to people without having the weight of knowing they don't know I'm ftm. Especially I like that even though they know I'm ftm they simply think of me as male and not 'the boy that used to be a girl'

[April Dawne]

I come to Susan's because I am respected for who I am, I feel a sense of belonging and family, and I like to share support and information with others, as well as make people smile and feel loved.
