Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I was just wondering roughly where everyone lived?

I am from the United Kingdom in Europe. English born and bred, to be more precise!

To be more specific, Ontario, Canada, in a little hamlet called Enterprise (wich is actually on a planet far, far, away)  :)

Steph

And I have the other side of Canada covered, being on the West Coast. Yes, we are all as loony here as rumour has it. Hemp chew anyone?

I'm an immigrant from the UK though, so all my family except my mother is over there.

Dennis

Southern California (for now) high desert area.  But I have lived in 12 different states over my life.  I was raised in the North West suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.

Sarah

I am in Ontario Canada as well,  near a small village called Frankford. Looks like we have both sides of the country covered

Denise

'T'was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, but left at a very young age.

I call myself a Yank nowadays.

Chaunte

I'm from Missouri USA. Born and raised here. I am proud to be from the hardworking midwest.

Love
DebTV

That's OK we forgive you  :)  I knew there was something very likeable about you.   :D  You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl.  Have you seen Corner Gas, it will make you want to go back there.   :)

I'm getting off topic so I'll stop before I have to give myself heck.

Chat later

Steph :)

Steph - I'd already noticed you were from Enterprise, did cross my mind briefly if it was one of those Star Trek communities  :P

Dennis - whee another Brit!

Sarah Louise - I stayed in the high desert for a couple of weeks in 1990. My ex-wife's aunt is married to an ex-American serviceman, and they lived in Victorville at the time (have since moved to Apple Valley). It was a great two weeks, we did a triangle of LA, San Diego and Las Vegas.

Misty - I've been to Stratford a few times, but not for some years. The land of the bard, indeed. Although not quite 'in theme' I bet you could walk through Startford dressed as an Edwardian lady and no-one would bat an eyelid, they would probably think it was some sort of street theatre :)

Debtv - I had a female lover who was from Joplin in Missouri. She came over to the UK and we spent some great weeks together. I was going to do a return visit but her redneck estranged husband and his family threatened her with losing her kids and house if she didnt take him back. She gave up herself for her kids, stopped playing the online game we played, and dropped all ties (male and female) with everyone she knew on the web... she just disappeared  :( :'(

Chaunte - some education please, a Yank is typically someone from the NE of the USA?

I am from the UK, a town in England called Felixstowe to be precise. :)

I'm from the caribbean, from Puerto RIco

Lyn-Jean,

"Chaunte - some education please, a Yank is typically someone from the NE of the USA?"

Though I was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, I have spent most of my years here in the northeast corner of the US.  I am a New Yorker, though I do not live anywhere near the city.  And, with all due respect to my brothers and sisters who live in NYC, I have no desire to live in the Big Apple.  Far too crowded for me.  I live in Upstate New York.

Where I live, I see fields of corn and wheat.  Apple orchards line my drive to work.  Deer running across the highway is a constant problem.

When the snow flies, I can end up with over a half metre before it stops.  Clearing upto 10 cm of snow in the driveway three or four times in a day is not uncommon.  Sometimes I have to clear the driveway immediately after I am done because it is filling up again.  Two years ago, a neighboring community had almost two metres on the ground, and that did not include the snow banks.  It has snowed as early as October and as late as mid May.  I have had day where it was about 18C in the afternoon and awoken  to -10C.

It can be cloudy and miserable for days on end.  And then, when the clouds break, the sky a crisp azure blue with the trees and hills a deep forest green.  Come Autumn, the reds and golds of the leaves are brilliant explosions of color.

Though I wasn't born here, this is where I call home.  I am a Yank.

Chaunte

Chaunte,

We get the explosion of color here with out the daily snow shoveling in winter. I really don't get the attraction for living were you guys do. But to each their own. I have enough trouble getting out and raking leaves. Somtimes I just leave them to the wind and if any are still hanging around come spring there is always the leaf mulcher to take care of it. Shovel snow? You have got to be kidding. If it lasts past 2:00 PM it's a long cold winter.

Cassie

Europe: Netherlands.... and I feel so blessed to live here... people tend not to be uptight here about anyone being 'different' (there has been a more conservative atmosphere recently, and more discrimination coming from religiously conservative immigrant communities)... few if any violent incidents againts TG's, no deaths
(of course there is the issue that the TG community here is too relaxed as a result, and takes this situation for granted... we should be more aware how blessed we are and work to keep it that way.

Alex

Edited to say: there has a been a trans murder recently in July in Amsterdam, it is on the remembrance website, but the police won't say if it was a transphobic hate crime; there is a possibility this was related to other murders on Thai prostitutes in Amsterdam. The reports on this incident are unclear.

Cassie,

Lol!  I could say the same thing about living down south!  It's far to humid for me to survive!  It is beautiful country.  However, when it is 90F and 90%RH, I start to melt!

Chaunte

Quotewhen it is 90F and 90%RH

Sounds like a beautiful spring day.  ;D

I'm from upstate NY but I'm now living in Dallas Texas...however, its not 'home' for me.. its just where I live,  NY will always be home.

I realise I'm the only one who has responded from Down Under but am I the only one at Susan's. Aussie that is.

Shelley,

And I wish I could be enjoying Spring and heading into Summer like you are, instead of seeing the first snow pellets of winter...

Chaunte

Ah,

Spring is sprung
The grass is ris
I wonder where the birdies is.

Shelley

I was born in Washington state. I have live in 9 of the state in the US and on both the Pacific and the Atlanic Coasts in the South and the North. and now I live pretty much in the middle. That would be Oklahoma. I joke and say I'm part Gypsy.

Smiles, ::)

I live in Azusa, a suburb of Los Angeles.  I live in canyon surrounded on three sides by mountains, so it doesn't feel like I live in one of the largest cities in the country.

My Mom was  born in Lemburg Saskatchewan,  later moved to Candiac  and came to Ontario when she was a  very young girl.   I was born in Ontario, so guess that makes me a bit of an easterner.

Denise

Good ole USA I guess. Been in umm like 28 states that I can actually recall.. though the count is probably higher by 10 or so..

Also Mexico, Belize and Guatemala...

Thinking maybe a tour of Europe and Asia is in order...

Maybe someday.. down under... LOL, drop by and see Shelley  >:D

Dennis

Hi Shelley,
there are a few of us from Oz, but being naturally shy & retiring type people we are never noticed :).    To date there are two responses to the poll who come from Australia- you & me
Hope you enjoy your holiday in Queensland by the way - I think you went north to escape the heat :)  we go to the beach 7.00pm to 9.00pm now - any earlier you fry

Southwestern New York is where I have my home.  Right in the corner near Pennsylvania.  There's a good sized lake nearby.  I grew up in NYC and moved here with my first wife.  She moved back, without me, a year and half later!  It's still a great place to visit (My mom lives an hour outside the city) and I still wouldn't want to live there.

I like it here but it's too far from my therapist (140 mile drive!) and way way way too republican >:(.

It's more of a when rather than a where. What it is one of the two (semi-)supertcontinents along with Laurasia when Pangea broke up about 200 mya...

jan you turn everything into a song - must be a Muso thing :)

as for Gondwanaland well ..   Australia is all that was left of it after Antartica finally split off.  But symoblically we carry on the heritage of Gondwanaland, when all the world was a better place :)   just ask the kangaroos & diprotodons (thou sadly its also a when as much as where question with them as well :(   )

I object to the lack of inclusion for our Antarctic brothers and sisters.

But no-one actually resides in Antarctica, people only work down there for extended periods of time.

There is also no humans native to Antarctica, unless the penguins have got on the internet, and have gender issues. :)

I was born in France of Corsican and Breton origins with Irish ancestors on the Breton side and North African on the Corsican side. A right mixture!
For the last 34 years I have settled back in Ireland and now live in Dublin where 25 years ago I was one of the founder members of "Friends of Eon".

Salut Jeannette.

What kind of studies are you thinking of?
Ireland is a real cool place to study. Dublin and even Maynooth can be a bit expensive but Cork and Galway are more reasonable.  There is also a lot of support available for mature students.
Keep in touch.

Technically I guess I am not actually on a continent, but on an island off the coast of an island continent.  But then I am also pedantic. :D

Europe, Slovenia. :)

It's interesting to see that there aren't many Europeans, and very little asians. Guess they frequent local boards more (probably due to language, culture, and ... Other things).

Originally from a dangerous to trans country in Middle East, now in Spain. So I voted Europe, no more Asia.

nope, just the only one who replied, remember there are over 7000 members, compare that with how many have answered the poll so far.

Plus you know there's that one guy who's just sitting in his room crying himself to sleep because the OP decided not to include the continent where he lives, Antarctica.

:D wohoo africa and amazingly more of us have voted then asia or south america XD

Australia for me.

wonder why asia has got VERY few votes, depite being the largest continent. maybe because most of its communities are quite conservative, not very open to deviations from gender binarity

Finland in northern Europe. :)

North America

I live in North America (US), but I did live in Europe for several years.

North America for most of my time, Europe for 2 years, and may life a few years in the next few years in South America.

North America currently, but I grew up splitting time between North America and Europe.

As for Asia, well China has a very advanced transgender surgery unit in Shanghai so I hear.

But internet access in Asia can be a problem

Don't tell me that. I am spontaneous and will do it. Out of all the places in the world Australia is the one I am dying to see.  :)

Live your dreams, summer is coming. I have an inflatable bed in a spare room! You need sunscreen and a bikini. Money helps.

And of course all the Aussies will totally ignore you (as if!!)
