Hi Melissa,
Welcome! It can be hard to say something on a public forum. I've had a ton of work experience posting in public forums.

Hello everyone,
I have recently just returned to Susan's place after a 15 year absence. I had started counseling for gender dysphoria as a transgender woman, and was ready to start transitioning when life got in the way. I am now seeing another therapist, and I am hoping to start my transition journey again. I live in an area that is not very LGBTQ friendly and I hope to connect with others through this site, and at a minimum be able to share my story.

Hi Melissa Anne,
Welcome! It is hard when you have to hide your identity. Perhaps a move is in your future?
I moved all the way across the country to find a job that would use my skills and education.

Hi Melissa Anne—welcome back to Susan's Place! 🌈
Fifteen years is a long time, and it takes real courage to return and continue your journey. I'm glad you've reconnected with a therapist and are ready to resume your transition.
I know it can feel isolating living in a less LGBTQ+-friendly area—I'm in Tennessee, after all—but you've come to the right place for connection and support. You're not alone here—we're with you every step of the way.
I hope this space becomes a steady source of encouragement as you share your story and connect with others. It's never too late to start living as your authentic self.
Welcome home, Melissa Anne! ✨
