Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello all.

I am Dyssonance.  Also known as ynsaen, best known as Toni D'orsay.

And yes, its ok with me that I do that, as I not only don't live stealth, but I find that it works well.

Folks call me either dyss or Toni.

And I am indeed, *that* Dyssonance.  From Topix, from PHB, from Bilerico, from random really annoying posts scattered hither and yon.  On facebook I'm Antonia D'orsay.

I am the immediate past chair of THis IS H.O.W., an all transgender halfway house and also the former house manager for it.

I am on the Board of Directors for TransMentors International, and I am recently annointed the communications director there.

I am the lead advocate for TransEquality Arizona.

None of which pays, and just means I do a lot of talking and political crap.

I started transition on October 10th, 2006, I am presently 44 years old, I have degrees in Sociology, Psychology, and Comparative Religion, I am still married though unwillingly, and my children have decided its easier not to have anything to do with me.

I am not called Dyssonance because I am trans.  I am dyssonance because I am a dissonant voice in the chorus.  I am not not nice, but I suffer from kindness I keep trying to scrape off me.

I am here because of a wish.  Like the proverbial devil, someone uttered my name, and so here I am.

I will be running for office in Phoenix, Arizona, where I live, in 2012.  I have two boyfriends, and I do a lot of education and persnal one on one work with transfolks -- particularly in the minority communities and sex working communities.

I am multiracial -- black, white and red all over.

I have a very unique sense of humor.

I don't suffer fools lightly, and I am way over educated, so people often misinterpret things I say.

I know nothing about sports or cars beyond I like to drive fast and guys get weird.

I have all my documentation done -- Birth cert, ssa, passport, etc -- all of it shows female.

I have not had grs/srs and do not define people in terms of pre surgery, post surgery, or non surgery.

Mine will be scheduled around the same time I raise 25K or so, lol.

The rest, well...  We will let happen :D

I think I can manage that.  Even if following rules is so, well, harmonious.

*giggle*

And you are most welcome.

I'm sure you'll find ways to harmonize, luv. You seem to manage over at GL! :laugh:

A savior at last.  I was beginning to think that the second coming would never happen.

You go girl

Nope, no savior. A friend and a very dear one. Perhaps you cannot relate to that?

Hi Dyss

You are one busy girl.

I hope to get to know you through your posts etc
Love and Hugs

Cindy

Why would I not be able to relate to that Nichole?  Friends are very important, especially dear ones.

Hi Dyss and welcome.

Hello again Dyss, I remember you from another board I don't visit much anymore but I always liked what you had to say. Hugs and welcome to Susan's.

You seem to have a very rare (and not just around here, but just about everywhere) of seeing things in terms of a life beyond yourself. 

As for scraping the kindness off, I use a K-Bar knife, seems to do the trick.

Well if you are the same one I have been reading over at TG Board (I just joined as LoriR because I'm a ditz) I bet you will have lots of advice to offer. I'm glad you are here. Welcome.
