Title: I can't do this alone. Help
Post by: BecomingMonica on June 21, 2026, 09:19:59 AM
* * *  Trigger warning * * *

Hello I am Monica Scott. My birth name is Christopher. I was three helping put laundry away. As I grabbed a pair of my step mothers panties I had this almost electric sensation and in my mind I thought. I should be a girl. I hated my male parts. They felt gross and wrong.  I was groomed at the age of three by a babysitter my drug addicted drunk and violent reaction at the site of me. The only kindness anyone had shown me was this male. I came out to three girls in grade and they loved it. They all passed down their old clothes. Life has tried to take my life many times. I beg for death and then I remember I'm trans and I feel warm and calm. I really need friends and support. I would love to make friends with all of you.

Hi Monica,
You need some support and understanding.

You will find a lot of that here.

You will also find out about yourself more and move toward inner peace.

Have you had any councelling?

It sounds like you need it.
There are so many of us who have benefitted by talking to a trained councellor

Hi Monica

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 trusting us with such a personal and painful part of your life.  I am very sorry for the fear, harm and loneliness you have had to carry.  You deserved safety, kindness and care when you were little and you deserve those things now.

I am glad you are here.  The way you describe remembering that you are trans and feeling warmth and calm sounds like a very important part of your strength.  You are not wrong for needing friends, support and understanding.  Many of us know what it feels like to need a place where we can be seen as ourselves.

Please stay close to support right now, especially when thoughts of death feel strong.  You do not have to face those moments alone.  There are people who will listen and help you through the next minute, the next hour and the next day.

Would you like to wake up tomorrow and be a female?

I would think most of us would ChrissE! Sadly life is not like that.

I am already a female. I would like to wake up with my body aligned with my self-perception. After all, that is the very definition of gender dysphoria.
