Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Name: Mara (Lady Mara)
Age: 49
Pronouns: She/Her
Gender: Woman of Trans Experience
Sexuality: Lesbian / Sapphic
Location: Indiana, USA
About Me:
Hello everyone! I'm Mara, a 49-year-old woman who began her transition a little over a year ago. I work as a mental health nurse with adolescent girls and spend my nights helping young people navigate some of life's hardest challenges.
I am a proud mom, a lifelong geek, and someone who believes it's never too late to discover who you truly are.
Interests:
🐉 Dragons
🖤 Gothic and witchy aesthetics
📚 Spirituality, mythology, and philosophy
🎮 Fallout, Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and other RPGs
🎲 Board games, card games, and tabletop gaming
🎵 Ghost, Emilie Autumn, Blutengel, and other dark alternative music
💄 Learning makeup, fashion, and all the things I never let myself explore when I was younger
A Little More:
I'm naturally pretty shy and tend to listen more than I talk at first, but once I'm comfortable I can happily discuss anything from psychology and nursing to gaming, spirituality, worldbuilding, or dragons.
I came out later in life, so I'm still experiencing many "firsts" that most women got to have years ago. It's been a beautiful, challenging, and deeply meaningful journey.

Hi Mara,

Welcome!

Hiya Mara!

I'm Sarah, 50 from Northern England. I'm still negotiating the transition myself and enjoying every step of the way.

What a lovely introduction. I'm a lapsed gamer myself (haven't had a gaming pc or console for about 5 years) though there are many current gamers on here. Fallout and Skyrim are up there for me.

I'm a very shy person generally but Susans is gradually bringing me out of my shell.

Feel free to join in any conversation or start your own. It will be great to get to know more about you.

Nice to have you on board.

This is something that I, and many other in here, can relate to.
Welcome aboard!

Welcome Mara!

Hey Mara,
I'm Charlotte and welcome to Susan's. What card games do you play? I play some MTG and Vanguard with my boyfriend. And now he's introducing me to Palworld TCG. Its fun for sure!

Oh you love dragons too! They are awesome. My real dream is to transition to the Kitchen Dragonmaid from Yugioh, but unfortunately doubt that'll happen!! Also started watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

Charlotte

You sound pretty cool. Are you a GTA fan?

I'm the same way. In social situations where I am new, I keep my mouth shut and just feel things out. But if I can connect with someone, I can't shut up. That's the way it goes when you suffered from social anxiety until the age of 29. (The same year that my egg cracked. Coincidence? Of course not.)

Cheers and welcome to the forum.

Hi Mara!
