Picture at 1 month I kinda liked.

Almost two months on HRT after starting at 24. Decided I want to reach out to some trans communities and get involved because, well. I want more people to talk to about this! The limited number of friends and family that I've come out to so far have all been overwhelmingly accepting, but I'm starting to think I need some friends who are actually going through the same things I am...
...so hi!

A big warm welcome to the family Melissa! :) You have found the right place for friends and support. It will not take you too long to see this is true. Feel free while you are here to rant, vent, share good news (we like that a lot), learn or just have some distracting fun and meet the rest of the family. All of the information you get here is from real people going through the same things you are. It is accurate because they are living it and can give great tips and suggestions at all different levels of transition. NO ONE goes it alone here at all. We may act like family members and have some rough days, but when one of us is in trouble all answer the call. Here is a BIG HUG :icon_hug: to welcome you and make you feel right at home! :)

Hi Melissa it's a pleasure to meet you. Your one month picture looks great! I'm looking for friends too. I'm not on hormones yet though. I haven't even been to a therapist. But still looking to make friends. :)

Hi Melissa! Welcome to Susan's! I'm pretty sure you'll find everyone here is super supportive, I'm new too and everyone is just so awesome!
Girl, it's so much easier when you have a group of people to back you up or pick you up when you need it.

Hey melissa. We're actually about the same age. Welcome to Susan's.
I'm just the opposite of you, though not on hormones yet.

Howdy howdy!
You're looking good there. Welcome. Hopefully you'll find the sense of community you're looking for here. There's tons of kind people on SP, and - speaking from experience- lots of support if and/or when you're going through a rough patch.
Make yourself at home. :)
Cheers,
Tegan
