Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi ^^

I'm kyoshi. I'm 18.

I unfortunately was born lacking the Y chromosome. I've always felt more boyish. Yes.

And I'd like to become more androgynous being. One of those people where you double-take, and are like, "Is that a guy or a girl?"
I've got a LOT of work to do though. Weight loss is a HUGE definite. Also, I've had problems with binding (I can't seem to get the hang of it, I must be stupid or something...). So if anyone has any tips, they'd be greatly welcome. n.n

Yeah, thats about it. That and I want to find more people like me. So I have someone to talk to.

I feel kinda awkward talking to people in real life about it (minus the roomie, she straight-out asked me if I was genderqueer. Which is okay, she thinks she's bi, and tells me all about that. Shes the only one who kinda knows about it. But I don't want to annoy her about it all the time, and I'm still a bit uncomfortable talking with her about it. x.x)

So yes, I hope you can all accept me and we can talk! Because I like to talk... <3

welcome Kyoshi!!! There's alot of great weight loss stuff under "Health" on the boards. I too need to lose weight badly, only I'm mtf and right now I not even close. I'm new here too and everyone on here has been great!!! You'll love it here. I'll chat anytime...take care.

Hi Kyoshi,

Yo'z Kyoshi, welcome to the Susan's jam! 8)
Just sit back, have some icecream and scroll around some threads to find whatever answers you're looking for -- you're welcome here, and really; no one's stupid (narzville)... Oh and as for binding: I suggest to get an actual binder in case you're using cloth or the like. ;)

Thanks for the welcomes! ^^

@ no_id - I've used ace bandages. An actual binder? I don't know how I would get my hands on one of those.

Well, overal bandages are not considered the best material for binding: it's hard to apply equally and due to the numerous layers the cloth doesn't breathe which can cause skin irritation, rash etc. (not what you are aiming for I suppose). However, depending on your cup size you could try a frog bra with a thin layer of bandages -- it should be rather effective. Yet, to give you an idea of actual binders, the following sites may help: http://www.t-kingdom.com/ and http://www.underworks.com/  8)

I was thinking about the frog bra. I'm cup size B.
I've heard of underworks before, but not T-Kingdom! Those I like! Thanks for the link! ^^

Hello, Kyoshi,

Please feel welcome here.  I believe that everyone has at least one piece of the puzzle that we all are trying to solve.  As far as I can tell, acceptance here is never a problem.

Enjoy!

きょし様へ；

スサンの所へようこそ！

きょしさんは日本人ですか？それは違いと恥ずかしいに成るね...　でも、きょしさんの書いた英語には日本語が少しだけ聞こえる、と思います。

よろしくお願いします；

Greetings, Kyoshi;

If you're not Japanese, I've just embarrassed myself in front of you and the rest of the membership of Susan's Place.

Welcome!  ;)

Karen

Thanks everyone! You're all so nice!

I really don't know where I should get started in talking though.  ;D

@ Karen:
And no, I'm not 日本語, sorry. ^^;
But that shouldn't be embarrassing!
But I picked up a little bit of that, so it made me feel a little smart! XD
(Yay for me getting loads better with ひらがな！)
You should teach me some Japanese LOL！

Ah, well, it was worth a try! ;D
