Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi Everyone.
I've been reading on this website for a while and recently have been getting stronger feelings about who I really am/more confused about my gender. I thought I should post and get to know people and try and figure out what i want/need to do.

I'm 29 and have cross-dressed since I can remember but have never told anyone - I suspect that my mum knew when I used to try on her clothes but she never said anything to me and probably thought it was just a phase. I can't stop thinking about living life as a woman. I've not been able to work for days.

Is anyone else in the north west UK (Liverpool) and do they know any good groups to join to get more info?

I think just typing this out has helped. And reading everyones posts has helped too - to know that there are others like me.

Thankyou. x

Hi Poppy, and welcome - I'm in Devon, but there are plenty of northerners around here too :). Good luck with figuring it all out.

Poppy.

Hi Poppy, the Queen of Confusion has arrived to, umm, further confuse things! I'm from Boston. Yeah, the tea loving city. See you around the site, hugs, Devlyn

Hi Devlyn,
Thanks for your message!  I'm a tea lover too. I'd fit in well in Boston.
See you around.

Oh dear, another Liverpudlian.

I was born and lived in West Derby, right next to Alder Hey Hospital. I escaped. Don't tell anyone.

Hi Cindy.
Thanks for replying to my intro.
I've only lived here for a few years, i'm from the south originally. I took me a while to get used to the accent but i love it now!

I emigrated to Australia to have SRS in 1976. I've lost a few things but not my accent. I worked in the Jolly Miller for a few years. Don't now if it exists any more. I went to St Edward's College, they didn't know at the time that it was co-ed. I was the first girl there but they couldn't  understand :laugh:.

I use to go to the Queens Head on  something road, for a lager at night.

Geex honey you are bringing back old memories. It was a dual carriage way. We used to walk there, it had a steak house.


Hugs Doll
Cindy

Hi Cindy, hope the memories of Liverpool are good.
I've seen the Jolly Miller, it's near Queen's Drive, but i don't think i've ever been in.
I live in south liverpool near St Michaels so tend to hang around there. Did you ever go to Lark Lane? It's meant to be the 'bohemian' part of liverpool.

Poppy x

Queen's Drive that's the road.

Honey when I left Liverpool it was just a violent ghetto.

Not much has changed then!
Well some bits aren't very nice but i think in general its got a lot better recently. It was even a European capital of culture back in 2008.

I'd rather be in Australia though.  :D

After my first 12 months in OZ I was home sick and went back to the Pool to see my family. I regretted going back as soon as the plane landed. Sure cured my homesickness ::)

Hi Poppy ,

Another big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while. I'm not from South Australia as some of us are, more or less one of the wise "women" (men) from the east, shall we say.

Our poor dear Sister from South Australia, who has engaged you in conversation, did lose a lot when she immigrated. But that a story for another time, perhaps (Should I survive.  :laugh: )  < DUCK!! Incoming thrown branding iron from the West (still hot) >

There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in start talking and ask any question you like. You're quite safe here and we are very accepting.

Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.

Lotsa huggs
Catherine
