Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi! I'm new here, but I've been stalking the forums for months without building up the courage to finally sign up. Part of it was fear of accepting myself, I guess, and part of it is fear that my parents will find out. They'd freak. But today I finally took a leap that I've been thinking about for years and I guess i wanted to get it off of my chest (haha  ;D). Completely against my parents knowledge and consent o bought a binder and shipped it to my friend's house. It came today. And oh my god, I just about cried when I put it on. It was the best feeling! I've always been a little confused about my gender and who I am. Honestly, I still don't totally know. But seeing myself in that binder made it so clear to me that I'm definitely more masc leaning than feminine. Honestly I just wanted to type this somewhere. It's not really something I can talk about irl... But anyway! I'm glad to be here and glad to finally have a binder (:
