Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I missed this forum the first time around. X_X Anyway, I'm Jessie, and I realized I was trans about... one week ago. I ventured into it and am really loving it. It's all really thanks to my ex-girlfriend and now best friend, Lin. She showed me the truth behind gender, that you can be whatever you want to be. Finding out that this was possible was kind of like finding out I could fly. I've dreamed of it for a long time, but always thought it was just one of those things I wasn't capable of. Now, however, I think I am. My interests are drawing and playing piano-guitar. If anyone wants to see my art, I'd love to show you! This website seems very nice. :) So how about you?

oh and here's what I look like. :P

Howdy Jessie. It is nice to hear you are happy coming to terms with who you are. I think it's cool you have remained friends with your ex  :). I would like to see your art. Do you record yourself playing piano and guitar as well? Welcome! =]

Thanks a bunch for your interest. :) Well I made this song with a keyboard and a guitar. You might like it. If not, I have softer things. :P

Jeez. You are really good. I liked how it went softer at 1:38ish. Lets hear your  softer stuff... =D

I really like the first one. What else do you have? xD There's a Painting and Drawing (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,313.0.html) subforum, you could post a bunch of drawings there.

Wow. I really love the piano tune <3. Was that suppose to be waves out the end? Your guitar tune sounds Spanish  :D. Awesome!

The hand needs more blood :P (kidding). What is written in the back ground? xD. The man looks like he belongs in Adventure Time  :D. I'm jealous how talented you are >.<

Well the program I recorded it with called it "Pink noise", so I don't know. :P Thanks so much! The writing is just from a poem I wrote. I don't like my own writing, so it's mostly covered up. >.<

Duuh  ::). You can't keep that to yourself! How does that poem go? D:

Hi Jessie, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm up near Boston. I work with stone when I get spare time. See you around the site, hugs, Devlyn

I don't perfectly remember, to be honest. Looking at the drawing, I can remember something like "You always told me to follow my bliss, but how can I?" For the first line. It was in the form of a letter... Sorry it was months ago. XP

No biggie! I was just curious. I bet you have written a poem to someone before, right?  :laugh:

Aloha e Jessie.

Welcome to SP.  You are 3 days longer here than I am, but I think we have found the best place to share and be who we are.

I love your attitude!   Please keep loving yourself and love this process of becoming the person we really are.

My new motto:  Let it be.  Let it be.  Let it be.

Be well,
Rickya

Thanks. ^.^ I really am liking it here. I feel like I won't be judged like almost literally everywhere in my area would. It's very helpful if you don't have the money to see a therapist yet. (There's one in my town! So close, yet so far, you know?)

Some therapists will work on a sliding scale. You can find out by simply asking them.

Welcome to Susan's.

Welcome to Susan's.

A sliding scale? What does that mean? ._.

it means they base their fee on your income.

Oh. That sounds nice. But unless they mind if that income is $0, then I still can't go.  :(

Some will still have a minimum payment, some will actually see you free for a time. Only way to know is to call and ask.
