Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hey ho everybody,

Rather than write huge blocks of text that make eyes bleed and brains shut down, I thought I would put all the interesting things I can think of in wonderful bullet point format, because I am totally original and am completely not just doing this out of laziness...why are you looking at me like that?

I've decided to try and keep this post up to date, as a mini personal summary/bio on the site, since the option to make new blogs is currently unavailable...and I have too much spare time.

Check back here if you are looking for updates on my writing or anything else.

• I am Scottish born and bred, you can tell by my pasty white complexion and passion for fried food.
• I am 26 years old, although I have been accused of acting half that age, but that's fine by me, because that means I'm still at least 18, and still legal to do most things...so joke's on you! :P
• I'm terrible at maths
• Danniella is not my real name, because who uses their real name on the internet? I mean seriously, I like my mail to contain as little anthrax as possible, one or two hits a year is enough to sate even the most masochistic of people.
• I'm a Digital Artist by trade, I make pretty things with computers to distract and boggle the minds of the masses into buying products my clients want to sell...no it's not what I want to do with my talents...yes it's soul destroying and unrewarding...milk and two sugars please
• I use humor as a defense mechanism...well it's either that or the laser defense grid I installed around the house...depends on how I'm feeling on that day really.
• I have just started HRT in January, and I am already measuring every inch of myself each morning, while rubbing miracle grow into my breasts, don't think it will help, but at least if I develop super plant powers, I'll take that as a win.
• I have been lurking for a while now, but finally decided to join up because I am sick and tired of not being able to talk about Dysphoria stuff without hearing some form of the phrase "I can only imagine what you are going through"
• I have never broken a single bone in my body, despite falling from a 3rd story window onto concrete, being ran over by a horse and generally doing lots of other dumb things that I should not have...I might be a super hero, but I'm too lazy to test it out properly.
• I am a complete nerd, like think on a nerdy thing you have heard of? Okay got it? Yeah Chances are I do/have done that in my life, i'm even a Dungeon Master and run RPG groups for God's sake...Why yes I have had sex?...Wait why do you ask?
• My 10 year relationship with the woman of my dreams has just fallen apart in February, it's been the most painful and crippling experience in my entire life, but at least I get to eat allot of ice cream...wait that's what happens when you get your tonsils out...hang on...
• My music taste is all over the place, imagine grabbing all the music videos on youtube and throwing them in a blender, yeah that's what the contents of my mp3 player looks like.
• Given the choice, I will always pick a cute girl over a hot one. Cute girls can be hot, but hot girls are just hot all the time, like, you need a break from that, who wants to be all "Hey darlin, pass the toast...please stop looking like you want to have sex with and/or eat me."
• Wine is my greatest weakness...that or bullets, not 100% sure on that front to be honest.
• I never know when or how to end a post properly...I often come to a rather abrupt end out of the bl...

Welcome!
Maybe "Welcome to posting!" if you've been reading for a while is more accurate.
The dot points don't do well to hide the nerdiness but I think you'll find a number of like minded people here :) (For the record, I'm not a DM and have never had a long term relationship, but otherwise I'd say we have similar backgrounds!)
FYI, don't test that bullet thingy out :P

Hi!! Welcome to the forum. :icon_drunk:

I'm 36, but I've been told that I have recently regressed to around 12 given some of my new interests. (which are really just resurrected interests. :D)

I remember falling 4 feet onto concrete hard dirt after slipping on a hill when I was 19. Luckily, I was intoxicated so I felt no pain. Didn't even get a bruise, didn't break anything in my face and amazingly enough, I didn't break my glasses. :D

Throwing all music in a blender? Hmmmm...sounds like Mr Bungle to me. :D

A cute, geeky girl would be my preference.  ;D

Hi Danniella,

Welcome to Susan's...
love the bullets. (I'm more of an ellipsis person myself...)
Forget the miracle grow, the girl juice is all the magic you need :)
Scottish you say, and it's WINE you fancy? No malts? ...sigh...
I +1 Sephirah :)

A warm welcome to you, Daniella.  My Grandfather was a Scot, who was brought to the United States as a small child.  He actually spoke some Gaelic.

That was 100 years ago.

There is a beautiful Scots MtF on youtube named Melissa Carmen.  I just love listening to her.  It does not hurt she has had a gorgeous transition either.

It sounds as if you have a plan in place.  Best of luck to you.  I am pleased to meet you.

Nice to know there are other nerds hanging out in the community, I shall attempt to resist the urge to try out the bullet thing, helps that fire arms are illegal in Scotland at least ;)

I was going to say that "rules are made to be broken mwahahaha!" but then you had to go and have a bunch of sensible  and logical rules in place...what's the point in that? No "Every Wednesday we must all wear bowler hats and eat lobster"? THAT would be a rule...though actually I don't think I would be against that rule...damn, this is why I don't moderate.

Intoxication does have it's benefits at the time I guess, I wish I was intoxicated when I was run over by the horse, bloody painful ass all hell, never had bruises like it xD

Cute geeky girls are the best girls, I'm hoping to attain at least the geeky girl title in my life, cute? we shall have to wait and see.

I love ellipsis AND bullet points, essentially I like it to look like somebody has taken a shotgun to my posts...or a very angry woodpecker...OH! Maybe they were trying to shoot the woodpecker!...what was I talking about?

I prefer wine, I had a big whisky phase, but can't drink the stuff any more after a rather...unfortunate New years celebration that will best go unspoken >.>

We do get everywhere, although shame about Gaelic, my mother speaks a bit, but it's pretty much a dead language now.

I shall check out this Melissa Carmen, feels like us Scots are a rare breed in the MtF community :S

Long reply is long.

Hi Danniella,

A 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.

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.

As you were born and bred on the right side of the border, I'll allow you to refer to me in my proper title; Lady Catherine. ROFL. Seriously!! I'm a landowner which confers the title, by Scottish statutes.

However been born and bred a true Aussie I'll cut you some slack. You only need to use the title on official correspondance.

Loved your intro. Dot points, how clever you Scots are.

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

Lotsa huggs
Catherine

Hehe, If you know the scots well enough, you know that we don't really care for titles much nowadays...too much like the monarchy! :P Thanks for the welcome though...M'Lady   ;)

My kind have an irresistible urge to hide in special hidden tunnels underground when strangers approach, it's just a natural instinct I'm afraid. If you ever find yourself in Scotland, I can take you to the great kingdom under the burns...as long as you can pass the "Twelve Trials of Ancients" of course. Don't worry...most of them just involve learning how to do various things while drunk....We do need better entrance prerequisites >.>

Hi Danniella and welcome to Susan's!  :)

Really happy that you've joined
and  that you've started posting to get to know us all better.  :)

Your text is so big! And green! I am concerned about making you angry...I don't think I would like you when you're angry 0.o

Welcome Danniella!

Loved your post!! Like yourself, I'm a trans and a nerd. It's a great combination - it keeps people guessing. Hand building computers, Linux OS and World of Warcraft are nerdy passions of mine. If you ever get the urge to visit Azeroth let me know and I'll join you.

Stay sexy,

Yay! Nerds! ^^ Just got back into WoW last month, I missed out most of Panderia on launch, now rolling through the leveling content with a friend to try and get all our chars prepped for Warlords of Draenor...I wonder if that made ANY sense to the others reading this ^^#

Oh God .. so funny!  :D

I froze my account about 6 months ago when I decided that I'd played MoP to death. I've played that crazy game on-and-off for about 10 years (I caught it just out of beta in 2004). I'm getting ready for WoD too. In March I'm going to be teaching a class on how to build a gaming PC. Right now I'm using an older Linux PC - I needed my Windows machine for work so I haven't gamed in a while. I've got my students all excited for Wildstar but as soon as my new Windows machine is built I'll do WoW again too. I'm laughing to myself thinking about what you and I would do in Azeroth ... we'd add a twist for sure. Never have I thought of gaming enfemme but I'm giggling at the idea of doing it.

Email if you like Danniella. I'll give you my vent info and well chat. I can give you tips on MoP if nothing else.

Stay sexy...

When I think back to the days of vanilla, wow, it has come a long way. God I loved that endless grinding in STV for a mount!
Every time I read a wow post I have that itching feeling come back. Maybe I'll resubscribe. Just for a month... Just for a few runs...
Oh god, I don't know how I managed to stop. I do know that if I did start again I'd be back on 24/7.

MUST. STAY. STRONG. RESIST!

Phew! That was close!

LOL, I just reread the second sentence and that might come off a little suss to the untrained in wow. Oh well! Grinding for a mount, that would make a great profile description... :)

Yeah...I keep boomeranging back to WoW. The gaps between my subscriptions are becoming longer though, last time I played was around 2 years ago now! I'm pretty psyched for Wildstar as well though...I'm keeping a close eye on the development and strongly considering picking it up shortly after launch...although I cannot have two subscription based MMOs in my life at once...I need to at least retain a pretence of a real life outside the digital realm ^^#

I've always played female characters in all games that give me the option though, but that was a big part of my denial growing up, living vicariously through literature and games/tabletop RPGs etc (should really have twigged earlier that "Hey! Why do you only feel comfortable when playing all these female characters...or reading fiction from a female PoV?")...denial is a powerful thing!

I joined not long before the Burning Crusade came out, so the closest I got was grinding daily quests for my Nether Drake...that took a while, so many of the quests were bugged >.>

It's a shame I'm on the European servers, otherwise we could have all got together some time for some gaming...my tanking skills have 2 years of rust I am just beginning to get rid of ^^

Hey and welcome to the fun. I am also living in scotland, but I am not from here originally. Lets just stick with NY.

Good to see you and hope to hear more about your fun with Sandyford and like the like.

Btw, I am on a break from WOW, but will probably head back with the new expac. I tend to go back with the new ones and then leave when I get bored again

Danniella,
        Missed your intro for some reason, guess we've connected just fine by now though, welcome to the family anyway girlfriend! It was a charming bullet point run down of who you are, you seem quite normal and friendly with a great sense of humor, so sorry about the loss of your sweetheart but many here can relate.  I have a 90 year old Scottish lady living next door, I love the accent!

Sweetie maybe you could benefit from some of my ADHD medication. :D LOL JK

Ha! I am glad you did this Shantel, as this intro is one of many further back that I haven't read since arriving later, and it cracked me up sideways.

Welcome to the site.

Definitely cracked up throughout reading most of the post!

Hi Danniella, your first post was both amusing and informative. I was puzzled by the second bullet point and burst out laughing when I reached the third, though as a Scot I resent the implication that we're all pasty white and, wait a second....
I think more people should introduce themselves in this manner :)

On the subject of Miracle Gro can I just say that I for one look forward to spectating on your future battles with the Dark Knight.

Nerdy things aye? Have you ever run the Dresden Files RPG using the Fate system? If so did you enjoy it? I really want to play it (an objective observer might comment that I am slightly obsessed with the subject matter).
Some friends and I have (just) started a game using the unofficial Mass Effect D6 rules during the Geth assault on the citadel in Mass Effect One.
So far it's going great we have a Salarian ->-bleeped-<- with a fixation on firepower, a disarmed C-sec officer with "The Chief" on his ass for excessive force and a paranoid Asari medic who's hiding from her renegade Eclipse crew XD
It's my animation student friends first time DMing so it's all going very smoothly without long pauses or confusion as we have to hunt through the pdf to work out the rules :)

I followed your posts about WoW though I haven't played since my friends from school lost interest. I think I got as far as a 73 Troll Shaman but I dropped out before Cataclysm was released.
I recently Tried my hand at GW2 but found I'm not a fan of it's temporary content. I think it makes the game less accessible to new players and they could have spent that time on improving equipment or expanding the world.

If it's alright with you I would like to PM you and ask about your experience with beginning HRT in Scotland, I'm still waiting on my first appointment for a psychological assessment, The NHS is not known for its haste :(

Yeeeeees, we charm you with our lovely polite 90 year old ladies that we scatter around the globe...They charm you with their lilting tones and sweet ways...they make you want to visit the lands of bonny Scotland...and then -WHAM!- it's all "OI YOU!

It's really the only way our tourism works...

I have perfectly good attention span...I just seem to have a bad habit of focusing on the wrong things...or inconsequential things...Like "Why is it that people put eggs in the fridge?...I mean...they don't NEED to be refrigerated....you don't pick them up in the fridge isle...is it just social programming? Is it because all the fridge manufacturers need to justify those weird crappy shelves they put on the fridge doors? I mean who are they trying to kid!?"

I have a burning desire to play out the "Goodfellas" "Do you think I'm Funny!?" monologue...but I feel I could not appropriately portray the correct tone of ironic incredulity required for it via the medium of text...so instead I shall use the finely crafted and extensively tested method of expressing pleasure at another person's comment...

On the subject of Miracle Gro can I just say that I for one look forward to spectating on your future battles with the Dark Knight.

Am...am I becoming Poison Ivy!? D:

Nerdy things aye? Have you ever run the Dresden Files RPG using the Fate system? If so did you enjoy it? I really want to play it (an objective observer might comment that I am slightly obsessed with the subject matter).
Some friends and I have (just) started a game using the unofficial Mass Effect D6 rules during the Geth assault on the citadel in Mass Effect One.
So far it's going great we have a Salarian ->-bleeped-<- with a fixation on firepower, a disarmed C-sec officer with "The Chief" on his ass for excessive force and a paranoid Asari medic who's hiding from her renegade Eclipse crew XD
It's my animation student friends first time DMing so it's all going very smoothly without long pauses or confusion as we have to hunt through the pdf to work out the rules :)

Sounds like some fun stuff. I'm a GM for my gaming group (mostly gents I met during my Game Design course at Uni) so I generally have a number of games on the go...currently I have...

1: A Dark Heresy campaign I GM that has been running for over a year now, 6 players, great fun and I get to do lots of cruel things with them and make them all paranoid about each other (each player always has a hidden agenda...lots of spying and backstabbing, I love it)

2: An Elder Scrolls RPG that is just starting using an Unofficial TES ruleset using a percentile D100 system, we are starting off in Skyrim as it is what most of the group are familiar with. 5 players, one is playing a specific sub species of Khajhit that is essentially a telepathic housecat...I expect great things from them.

3: I also run a number of One-shot sessions in various homebrew settings I have conjured up over the years. We currently use the Savage Worlds ruleset for them...because I absolutely love it's simplicity and how you can build upon it.

4: I am a player in a Call of Cthulhu game, I play a female private investigator in the 1920s...which is haaaaard but extremely rewarding as the GM is very good at working in the sexism of the time into the campaign as extra obstacles for me...but I love it. Yeah suuure, maybe the men wont take me seriously...but they always underestimate me...and they never expect me to be packing heat ;)

5: Aaaaaand finally, I am prepping to be a player in a Vampire the Masquerade/Requiem game some time this year. I have been writing lots of short stories to really flesh out the character and flex my writing skills. I will have great fun with her when I get the chance ^^

Phew...I spend faaaaar too much time on this stuff, but no Dresden Files or Fate Core yet...might take a look though...

...

If this results in me becoming addicted to yet another game system, I will hunt you down and make you listen to every single one of my ideas as penance for your transgression -.-'

I followed your posts about WoW though I haven't played since my friends from school lost interest. I think I got as far as a 73 Troll Shaman but I dropped out before Cataclysm was released.
I recently Tried my hand at GW2 but found I'm not a fan of it's temporary content. I think it makes the game less accessible to new players and they could have spent that time on improving equipment or expanding the world.

If it's alright with you I would like to PM you and ask about your experience with beginning HRT in Scotland, I'm still waiting on my first appointment for a psychological assessment, The NHS is not known for its haste :(

PM away! I'm always happy to help in any way I can ^^

It's a wig? I just thought that you had dyed your hair.

I like listening to character/story ideas so fire away :)

I'm currently trying to build Dundee (meaning = Fort Fire) as a city for the Dresden files campaign.

Indeed...alas my fiery locks are not natural, I am growing my hair and am on track to have a similar style some time in the future, but as it stands my natural hair only goes to around the nape of my neck, and is a bloody brilliant blonde, so I get aaaaaaall the blonde jokes...especially with my somewhat...eccentric attitude >.>

...

Also I LOVE red hair! ^^

So the wig is really just a visualization aid, something to aim for that makes me feel good atm.

One day I shall acquire such lovely hair of my own! And with it, I shall rule this pathetic world with an iron fist! Wielding a fury unmatched in the realms of mortal man!!!

...

Oh hang on...that's when I build the doomsday device...my bad

When I first read this I saw "FURRY" for some reason.

I felt much safer when I read it as furry, than I do now.  :P

I so wish I lived near you, as I miss rolling dice and I love people who love and have fun with life, your energy jumps off my computer monitor and makes me want to exercise!!!

Thank You for being so you!  :-*

I've read the op 3 times and it's just incredibly funny. Thanks for the great sense of humor.

Well THAT is a terrifying image D: I mean...how does one "wield" a Furry?

...

More disturbing...what do you use as a..."handle?"

-shudder-

It's even funnier the 4th time, but get's pretty boring on the 5th.

...

I think people tend to kill themselves midway through the 6th...I should work on that >.>

I have perfectly good attention span...I just seem to have a bad habit of focusing on the wrong things...or inconsequential things...Like "Why is it that people put eggs in the fridge?...I mean...they don't NEED to be refrigerated....you don't pick them up in the fridge isle...is it just social programming? Is it because all the fridge manufacturers need to justify those weird crappy shelves they put on the fridge doors? I mean who are they trying to kid!?"

Where do they not put eggs in the refrigerated aisle?

I mean Hi, welcome to Susan's!

They don't put them in the refrigerated aisle in the UK ^^

Behold! An interesting debate on the subject that comes to an interesting conclusion!... http://tinyurl.com/mn9uhc7

It doesn't matter! xD

Obviously, you would use their tail.

 :D Or maybe their feet if they didn't have a tail.

It could potentially bring a whole new level of meaning to the old saying of "Not even enough room to swing a cat in here"

But anyone that lays a finger on this little cutie:

Would suffer the wrath of these two:

The cat is particularly vicious, but when comes to Portia, the squirrel will mess you up in an instant if you touch her.

Here is a little "chefy" trick.  Let the eggs you are going to cook come to room temp first.

I have heard of "road rage."  But "rodent rage"??  Scary  :D

Uuuuuum...ok? ^^;

I have clearly inadvertently stumbled upon the Furry underbelly of Susan's >.>

 :D They are characters for a series of fanfics that I write. (The one in the glasses and the other in the AC shirt)

Yeah, some would say that my love for Portia is a tad out there. :D :D

Miss Squirrel,
            I didn't imply that in the past, did I?  ;D

So I've decided to try and keep the first post updated to act as a mini bio/summary for the time being, since creating more blogs on the forums is not an option, I'm just going to try this out and see if it works.

Let me know if this causes any cray cray rules violations or annoyances ^^

Added some new pics and my 6 month update video to the original post. Cause I am cool like that. ^^

Welcome to Susan's, Danniella. Love the bullet points.
