Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Um.. Hi. I'm sorry if this introduction isn't a very good one. It won't be long, nor very informative.

I'm Clarice. I mean, I'd prefer if people called me that. A friend of mine (She's so great and supportive!) suggested once that I should start talking to other people who are like me. I mean.. nobody's the same, but I mean the things I'd like to talk about. On the inside, I feel like a girl. I'm physically a guy, but I REALLY, REALLY don't like it. I don't like how I look, sound, or how some people expect me to be. I was honestly a bit reluctant to join a site like this, because.. I sort of though I would feel uncomfortable.

I'm getting a bit desperate, at times, nowadays. So. I've decided to join one of these forums. I spent a bit looking for a good one, trying to find an active one, and this seems to be a good place. I've read a few threads here, and you all seem to be nice people! I'm a bit new to this, to be honest. I had originally had the thoughts when I was 12. But around the beginning of 2013, they've gotten really stronger.. So, that's why I'm here. I'd like to talk to people that go through some of the same problems as me, (if there are any, I mean.)

Like I said before, I'm a bit new. So I'm sorry if I accidentally offend anybody! (I'm really afraid of doing that.)

I honestly don't know where to begin, on here.

Soooo.. Yes. Hii everbody.

A warm southern California welcome to you, Clarice.  I love that name.

And don't worry about offending.  We all started our individual journeys somewhere, and had to find our way out of the darkness.  You are among friends now.

It sounds like you recognized the gender dysphoria about the time you started puberty.  That is actually pretty common among us, and was true with me (though "dysphoria" was not part of my vocabulary then).

Tackling these issues when you are still young is a good thing, and can save a lot of heartache. Glad to have you here.

Hello Clarice, it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Susan's Place, I hope you find everything you need here.

A big warm welcome to the family Clarice! You have found the gold at the end of the rainbow!*giggle* This place is so great and friendly, you will feel at home in no time at all. There is a ton of information, personal stories of experiences and just plain fun. Don't be afraid to ask anything at all. No one will make fun of you because we are family now. Relax, jump right in and learn a lot. If you have questions about anything, just ask. Here is a BIG HUG to start you off right!  :icon_hug:

Aww, thank youu. ^^

I didn't expect replies so fast! Thank you! Um, I have a question right now, in fact.. Where would be the best place of discussion for me? I mean, I know there are a lot, but. I'm sorry if I am seem like I'm needing so much help. Would the Transsexual part be good, or.. somewhere else? I haven't actually started doing anything as a woman, yet. I'm just.. having to wait a bit, due to family, and such. The only things I've done so far have been finding the name "Clarice," and asking a few friends on the internet to refer to me as a woman. Nobody in person, yet..

I would start in the forum "Transitioning". There are quite a few topics there. :)

Welcome clarice. There are tons of helpful forums here. Ones you may find helpful are male to female, coming out, therapy, hrt , ffs . Those answered a lot of questions I had. But more pop up in their place  :). Look thru all of them, tons of helpful info here.

Welcome to Susan's. Have the lambs stopped crying?


Oi, My mind and movies.

I think you will find many people who share the same problems, often with different solutions. No need to feel uncomfortable. Just find a thread that interests you and join in.
