Susan's Place Transgender Resources

OK, I did draw comics up to when I was 11 or so, but miserable circumstances intervened and kind of put a stop to that.

I do also know how to turn a computer off and on again, but I've no idea about programming or stuff like that.

I do like Doctor Who, but find most sci fi a bit yeah, well.

So, gosh, really.......Did I just get here by accident?

Lol - I was having my doubts until you confessed to loving Dr who - that nailed it! Yep you're trans!

(Actually more seriously, in the late 1980's I worked on the show. You'd be amazed how many of the fan base back then were lesbian Gay Bi or trans.)

PS its in my username of course - I'm Jenny now - I was James as an infant - I became Jenny as a child - as a teen I briefly became James again, and then I was finally and medically RE-Jenny-Rated in my twenties! lol

But do you regularly change companions? Oops - none of my business!  ;)

I love the Dr., have had programming courses and can draw so I guess I'm in. I'm also left handed.

ROFL - well since you ask I've had three - the first for 5 years the second for 25 years - and now I'm on the cusp of getting engaged to a lovely girl called Susan (whom I originally met via this very forum) and who is almost young enough to be my Grand-daughter (coming up 21). So I guess so lol

Not sure about left-handedness......one of my brothers is left-handed, does that count?

Jenny - all the very best with your new "companion" (!?!)  :D

Yes  ;D

yes , DNA coupling and ditto on "companion"

heheheheh :~)

Well, pretty much no trans stereotypes fit me. Sometimes I am even told that I am 'not a real trans person' because I have such unconventional views.

Well, I blow a massive raspberry in the direction of those people. No single one of us is an authority on what 'being trans is'. We are all learning.

Well I draw comics and used to be IT support at my former job... so no comment!!

someone out there programmed a drawing app.

Well I have three computers, taken up drawing as a hobby and can't stand Dr Who!

But I do have a friend who called his latest all terrain vehicle a trans-ground-vehicle, a TG-V, as he gave me the keys to try it out. Weeeeee

Left handed, work as a concept/VFX artist, hate Dr Who.  ;D

My partner teaches drawing. I must be searching for something...............!

This made me laugh. I have never been good at art, I know enough to be dangerous with computers but not IT, have never seen Dr. Who and I like sports. I'm such a faker I guess.

I used to be quite artistic, haven't tried very much in years though aside from some basic craftiness and pumpkin carving.  Drawing, Painting, Origami, Crocheting, etc....  I'm a Star Trek Fan and I've always wanted to get into Dr. Who, but haven't taken the time yet.  :P  I also work in IT Support, lol.

I've never really been into watching the doctor, I don't have TV though... I like Firefly, does that count?

I think for certain we can say without doubt that you trans-portable, trans-gressable, trans-cendable, trans-mutatable, trans-sulvaniaish, trans-ocenaic . . . Sooo, I'm guessing you are just


That about covers it!


>:-)

Sounds like a good multi-vote poll.  Are you
- interested or work in the space industry
- interested in science fiction
- interested or work with comics
- interested in fantasy
- able to get a job in the computer/IT industry
- artistic
- left handed

There are probably other great items to be added.  It's interesting to think we may have so many interests in common.  I hadn't really thought about it before. 
Personally I'm an aerospace engineer that works in the computer industry with a masters of arts in computer graphics.  I'm not left handed though.  Hopefully that doesn't disqualify me.

I do like those sexy fetish clothes.  When I lived close to Amsterdam I went to a few fetish clubs occasionally and was always amazed by the beautiful costumes that many of the people wore.

Some interesting trends. 
Sydney, you sound like a 6-7.  Some flex with your answers.
Grace, you and I are soul sisters with a 6 each on the same items no less.
Joanne and Danielle have 5's 
Zoe pulled the 1
Cindy, you laughed at the notion of a stereotype with a 0

I was thinking more along Fantasy being more like Lord of the Rings type of stuff but, let's totally include some of the other colorful items
Shopping also sounds artistic.  I mean, if that is the case I'm not out shopping but instead I'm creating art.  I can totally work with that.

Me Too! I have to make an 'L' with my thumbs and pointer fingers to tell my Left from my right! (the hand that makes the L is left) I look like a total dork but it works for me!

Just as long as you don't tell anyone. I have an R and an L on my car dashboard. (Shush :laugh:)

This is very interesting to me.  For my whole life I have never been quick at figuring out right and left.   My wife always says to me when I get it wrong "No your other left" or "No your other right".   I never thought of myself as ambidextrous, but certain things like windsurfing and skateboarding I was goofy footed.   Do people easily know their left from their right because they can easily sense their dominant side?

Thanks
Paige :)

- interested or work in the space industry
- interested in science fiction
- interested or work with comics
- interested in fantasy
- able to get a job in the computer/IT industry
- artistic
- left handed

First job was for NASA as an engineer/materials scientist
Read & watch scifi extensively and worked as a Video editor on the classic series of Dr who (after retaining for broadcast)
have of course read Neil Gaimans Sandman series
Read & Write fantasy - favourites are the Darkover series by MZB and The Hollows series by Kim Harrison
Have previously worked as a software engineer and It manager
Am moderately artistic and highly creative
Am ambidextrous. (I am strictly left handed by preference but was taught to use my right so now functionally ambi)

I guess I almost score a full house! :D What is my prize? lol

- I'm absolutely horrible at freehand art but I am extremely creative.  I've drawn a couple of comic strip-like pieces for people before but my process was absolutely excruciating and time-consuming.  Never doing that again!

- I know my way around computers pretty well but I can't say I could ever get hired into IT or be much interested.  Ironically I still know more about the computer infrastructure in my workplace than any of my colleagues.

- I like sci-fi in general, enough to have watched most of the Star Trek franchise and read some of the novels, but I can't take much Doctor Who.  I've previously worked in various creative capacities in the TV/film industry on numerous sci-fi/fantasy productions, which was fun certainly, but I wasn't responsible for selecting the genre of the projects.

- Space is kinda interesting.  There's a good chance that I'll be able to afford a recreational trip to space within my lifetime.  Maybe even to the moon at the rate things are advancing.  Sadly I probably won't live to see levitating cars, at least in the sense everyone envisions.  But hey, at least we sorta got hover-boards!

- I'm strongly right-handed but, oddly, have become much more ambidextrous during transition.

I like lighthearted sci-fi Dr Who, firefly, not into sci-fi that tries to be serious.

As far as programming goes I managed to get the antenna channels programmed on my tv, but really no interest.

I have been known to be artistic but not lately.  Definitely creative though.

I never worked for anything to do with space, does aircraft mechanic count?  I would love to see the day when space travel is a normal thing.

Pathetically useless with my left hand (unless there is a wrench in it).  I ride a wake board and skate board goofy foot.
