Hello,
I call myself Gretchen.
I am a non-transitory, middle-aged, feminine soul driving this man-bot.
I have been in therapy for 2 years now. I have been given my letter of "recommendation" for HRT, though, for now, I'm just sitting on it. I'm not quite ready to come out yet and am just perusing the internet for resources and support and as a means of expression.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Welcome to Susan's Place. I think you will find this is a pretty good source of information with friendly and helpful people. The collection of information on this server dates back 10 years and there often times when the information is posted so fast I have to selectively moderate to keep up with the flow. Of current interest to you might be the HRT section as you can learn about the effects of HRT and better time your coming out. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Welcome to Susan's, Gretchen. That's a great name, and I like the way you put "feminine soul driving man-bot". That's along the lines of the way I described being born female. I once told people that this was my woman suit and it was a birth defect, or a human woman shell that didn't reflect who I was on the inside. Nice to meet you. I will look forward to seeing your unique word usage around the forums. Enjoy your stay.
