new information site

[Lee11]

Don't know if it's politically correct or not but I am looking into launching a new Trans Man site which will feature interviews with trans men  (regular and known....like Buck Angel), product reviews, doctor interviews, health and nutrition, bodybuilding, drug info....you name it.

I am also being photographed for an upcoming issue of Original Plumbing transman magazine and hope to draw more attention to it there.

Thoughts???

Wow, that sounds pretty awesome.  You're have to let us know when your website launches so we can check it out and keep up with it!

1. We do not allow the advertising of other web sites or chats on Susan's Place with the exception of the Susan's Place Transgender Web Directory which is listed on the main page of this site. This prohibition includes chat, forums, and the wiki.

There are seven exceptions:

• Links listed added by the chat staff to the Transgender bot(TGBot) in our chat
• Users on the chat may give other users links to their photographs and personal websites.
• Links to the source of news stories posted In the News forum which is located under the Transgender Talk section of the forums
• Members with a post rank of "family" or higher may post links to information provided that the information does not otherwise violate the Terms of Service. This is a privilege that will be revoked if abused.
  
• You may link to your personal web site in your forum profile, and forum signature which is shown at the bottom of your forum posts.
• Links to the event web site for more information in the Calendar of events.
• Site staff may at their discretion provide links to other web sites, in order to provide informational resources to Susan's Place users, this is a privilege I feel that they have earned. If you are interested in this ability volunteer for the Chat, Forums, Links, or Wiki.
  

This is done for several reasons the main one being spam prevention. It also helps us to ensure that the sites Susan's Place links to are family friendly. To recommend sites for inclusion in the links area, simply find the category that the link best fits, and click the 'Add Link' text at the top of the page. You do not have to be the owner of the web site to submit it for listing.

Hi Lee,

Just to point out that if it is you own web site, just place it in you signature area.

Thanks....wasn't sure if it was politically correct to talk about it....definitely want to link Susans to the site though

Very cool for the upcoming OP magazine stuff.

As for the new site launch, I think that having more info, especially CURRENT info, available is great. One thing that seems to happen is that people have energy for these sites but not a lot of long term follow-through. Just the nature of the beast. No one is making a living off of it, and after transition, it is easy to not stay as updated on the "latest" trans everything. It's a lot of work to keep things updated and accurate, and I applaud the people who do so - both at susan's and elsewhere.

My only "advice" is that while the internet is littered with dead links and outdated info for FTMs, there is also a lot of good stuff posted already. I'd be careful not to use your initial energy and efforts to duplicate what's already out there or to re-invent the wheel.

Sean is always so sensible!

i think it would be rad to include plenty of interviews with guys who are post-coming out and post-transition. like sean said there are already a lot of resources online for those who are questioning, pre-T, transitioning, etc, but there isn't a lot of stuff out there focusing on transguys who are post-transition. i definitely support your idea and think it could be a great resource.

Thank you...I am going to have it set up for launch in August - seems auspicious since it is my birthday.
Just figuring out content etc and of course I will definitely be highlighting this forum....this place was a MAJOR help to me in my transition and is definitely the best forum on the subject.
