Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hey everyone!

Gosh, what to say without writing a novel...

My name is Lindsay, I'm in my 40's, I'm a west coast gal, transitioned more than 10 years ago, have an amazing spouse, a pretty good life, and I'm looking for community after a long time of being away from it.

Why now? Without getting into all the dull specifics, after all these years I'm finally getting GRS in 2 weeks (waiting this long is a whole giant story in itself) and I'm realizing I have very few people I can talk to about what's going on and how I'm feeling . So I'm hoping this will be a good place for that. And honestly, with everything that's been going on in the world lately I think it may be time to come out again and work to help other trans people where I can.

Looking forward to talking with you all ❤️

Lindsay

Welcome Lindsay!

I'm glad you found a place to connect with the trans community. We are glad to have you.

How exciting to be taking the next step and having GRS.

If you feel comfortable, we would love to read your novels! Reading other women's journeys is very enjoyable.

I hope you enjoy the forums and the potential friendships to be made.

Lacy

Hugs,
Lacy
