Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I was born female but never accepted that I was a woman. From age four on, I resisted it--fighting about clothing, crying over having the "wrong" parts, trying to play the boys' roles in school plays. Puberty was a nightmare. I'm 31 now. Not sure if I'm going to transition. Not sure even what it means that I feel "like a man" inside, but I do. And I'm a pretty sad, bitter man at that. So. Here I am. Thank you so much for being here.

Welcome LaurenceRussell.

I'm 40. It is never too late to transition. Just take your time, time will tell if you need to transision or not.

I would suggest you find yourself a gender therapist that can help you explore these feelings.

Anyways. Welcome. :)
