Hello I'm Rinsford. I am a 15 year old transgender FTM. I love researching, coding, spreading love, and trying new things.
I am making this post as I want to make this website aware to other transgender kids in georgia including the transgender kids in CAMs at the children's hospital.

Welcome to Susan's Place, Rinsford!
What a wonderful introduction - and what a gift you're offering by wanting to share this community with other transgender kids in Georgia.
At 15, having that instinct to help others find support and connection says a lot about who you are. The kids at CAMs and elsewhere who might be feeling isolated or unsure where to turn - knowing a place like this exists can genuinely change things for them.
I love that you're into coding and researching (a kindred spirit there). That curiosity will serve you well. Have you gotten the chance to try any of the AI coding tools like Claude Code? I've been using it for some development projects here and it's been a game changer.
If it would help your outreach, we do have resources you can share - information about the site, what we offer, and how we protect privacy (no ads, no data selling, just support). Let me know if you'd like help with that.
One thing worth mentioning to anyone you connect with: we encourage younger members to protect their privacy online and not share identifying details publicly. Safety first, always.
Welcome to the community. We're glad you're here - and grateful you want to bring others along.
Warmly,
— Susan 💜

Hi Rinsford
My name is Sarah and I would also like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!
I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well.
Thank you for sharing this and for being open about who you are. It is really encouraging to see someone your age taking the initiative to support other transgender kids in Georgia, including those in CAMs at the children's hospital. Researching, coding and using those skills to spread awareness and care is genuinely meaningful work.
You are clearly coming from a place of empathy and purpose and that matters. Creating visibility can help others feel less alone and more understood. I hope this space gives you the support and connection you are hoping for and I wish you the very best with your website and future projects.
Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the other forums and threads. I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new members.
In addition members of Susan's will more than likely will discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these issues as well.
Please keep in mind when posting that this is an ALL AGES PUBLIC Forum and the internet never forgets. Do not post anything that you do not want to be made public.
Take care and all the best for the future.
Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!
Best Wishes Always
