My name is Sarah B and I would also like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!
You mentioned in your first posts:
I looked up your name Lilith and the meaning, a very unusual and unique name, what intrigues me is why did you choose such a name? You don't have to say the reasons why.
We are all different in how we perceive ourselves. I have always been female. I could never walk in two shoes. You are not the only one here on Susan's that is either gender fluid or binary. If you are happy with who you are, then that is the most important thing in the whole world.
Given the description you have provided above, I would suggest if it is possible take a chromosome test as it could provide more information about why your body went through those puberty changes. Other than hormonal imbalance.
It's sad that you had to endure being teased and stared at. No one should ever have to be treated differently from others.
It's good to hear that such drastic measures did not occur in your life. Those feelings are always present and keep resurfacing until something is done about them.
Take me for example, the only feelings, I suppose if I was brutally honest occurred over a period of time from 1980 to 1989, my longing and wanting to be a female was growing stronger, however it did not affect me per se. It did not worry me that I was thinking about it. So I left family and friends in 1989, so that I could live my life as a female. I still had those feelings when I was younger at certain times.
It's good to hear that you are able to share yourself with others and be acknowledged for who you are. How you go about your life with opinions from others, if it makes you happy, the do it! I was 30 years old when I changed my life around.
You have a wealth of experience and information here at Susan's, that I never had when I changed my life around. I came to Susan's Place for the first time in 2010. It was welcoming then, after leaving Susan's after a couple or years. I have just come back and it's still welcoming.
Its good to hear that you are considering HRT yes it will feminise your features. Just remember that whatever you decide to do. It is up to you to make that final decision on what you do.
You can always tell us what he is up to. We will not tell him, what you have told us about him. Information that you tell us in PM (private messages) or on Susan's Discord Forum (private areas) will remain private between those individuals.
No, we are happy to have another like minded soul, that can provide insight to others as other members can learn from your experiences. In addition other members of Susan's will come along and more than likely will discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most of us have experienced these as well.
Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in other forums and threads. I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something from new members.
Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!

Hi Sarah B,
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! It truly means a lot to connect with someone who understands.
I appreciate you sharing your story about transitioning. It's inspiring to hear about your journey.
The idea behind the name Lilith came about in the early days. To be honest in those days I wasn't a very good girl, back then I was only allowed to exist in the nightly hours, especially on Friday's and weekends after heavy drinking and drugging. Living in New York City, during that time I would dress and post salsy images of myself in websites such as craigslist, and other similar websites looking for cis-gender men for sexual pressures. No, I wasn't selling myself I did this because it was the easiest way for me to meet cis-gender men at that time in my situation. This phase in my life is behind me, and today I no longer participate in these dangerous activities. I didn't have a name and I needed something that resonated with my lifestyle, so I did some research and came across the name Lilith on a Google search, after learning who Lilith was from the wikipedia website and having a Christian background the name resonated with me with and the life that I was living.Thankfully I no longer live like this today, but I became attached with the name and kept it, I think Lithith and who I was and who I am have somethings in common.
About the chromosome test I'll definitely consider your suggestion and discuss it with my doctor.
I'm happy to be in a space where I can learn from others and hopefully offer some insights as well.
Thanks again for everything, Sarah B, and everyone for the warm welcome.
