Goodbye Susan's

[April Dawne]

I am not mad at you, and I was not attacking you. Your post seemed to have no relevance to  my post at all, so I asked a simple question.

[CaitJ]

this is not my cry for help, rather a cry of frustration and dissapointment... i came back to this site after a year or so hoping that attitudes to others may have changed but they haven't... Susan's still has the same clicky, rude and abrasive personalities that on the whole just do not consider anyones else's experience or right to express what they have to say as being legititimate or of any value... funnily enough it is the same personalities as last time,but different people... and worse still is the very blatant ganging up and lopsided decision making of moderators... strangely it is usually only the mtfs and tv moderators ... the boys are very much more balanced and reasonable....i wonder why that is... i am not a young person anymore and have lived  my life for many decades but like last time I stopped by here, it is all just very tiring and at times sad and disturbing to see how people beat and attack others without any thought or compassion for the other's feelings or situation AND  strangely the common denominators of attackers seem to be a larger number of posts or/and an undeniably "i'm better than you" attitude...  it is all to vexing to see so for me it is time to go cos these days I try to avoid anger and that is all I can get from this site... mostly here youth is wasted on the young

I like the irony of your user name.

Hi April,

I think we all have those moments and I'm so glad that you posted and that we could talk to you. You are loved and needed here. You are a woman going through what many of us are facing and we need the support of our sisters and brothers to keep going.

Mmm love to get my nails done, what did you have?

Hi April

I'm sorry to hear your troubles, life sucks sometimes.
I know that words of encouragements can't solve your problems but you know now that you're loved and wanted around here.
So, please don't go, we would be missing you, that's for sure.
I know from my expirience that sometimes you're trapped and there is no way out but when you look back in a year, you see things different because these problems are solved.
I hope you won't get depressed by this problems.
persist in your believe and fight your way back
there will be another job and things are different than, more money, healthinsurancy, this is temporarely.
hang on sister

hugs
annette

Hi April

Glad you are staying and that you posted this thread. There are lots of difficult life struggles, I wish it was easier like we all do. We do the best wee can with what we  have. 

Anyway, glad you are here. 

[April Dawne]

Thanks again everyone for your support and encouragement, it means a lot to me, and I appreciate each of you. My outlook today is definitely not as bleak now. <3

Cindy wanted to know about my nails, but instead of explaining I thought I'd show them off.






here's me after dying my hair

Hugs to all!

Beautiful pics April

Love those nails.

They are nice. But why so serious? There must be a nice smile in there, somewhere.

[April Dawne]

Yes, I do smile, however that pic was taken after I learned of my hormone level problem with the elevated Prolactin.

@Cindy, the nails cost $60, the pink and white tints are in the acrylic, no polish, and the white has silver sparkles in it that don't show up on my iPhone's camera.

Tomorrow is my hearing for my name change, then I can get my Driver's License redone, and send in the paperwork to change my name on my Social Security Card. Thursday is my interview with the Department of Health and Human Services to get on Medicaid. Wish me luck! HUGS!!

Good to hear that you are happy and you are finally getting your name changed.  Your license and social security cards will be a piece of cake.

Take care and I hope it goes all right with your Medicaid interview.

Kind regards

Hi April 

I don't claim to know you or your situation well but I think that this whole trans situation is really hard and even harder without the financial stability of a job (I'm in the same boat there, although I'll admit that a free health care system helps a lot).

Sometimes it's easy to look through these boards and think that everyone else is doing well and its just you that is struggling (I know that I do sometimes) but I hope that you stick around and that you get the kind of support that you need and deserve

Take care M xx
