Title: Hello
Post by: Aleksa on October 06, 2006, 11:41:49 AM
First I have to apologize my bad english, I'm from Finland. Hope you can understand and tolerate some mistakes with language.

I found this place few days ago and I've been reading what you have written to find out what's this really about. And what I've read is all very interesting, so I read the rules too and decided to register, so here I am.

Well, something about me... Let's see, I'm 22 years old, I live alone, I have body like Marilyn Monroe, which I hate. I mean my body, not Marilyn. Reason for that is I'm not that much female, not at all actually, but I'm not male either. I think I'm just out of that whole male/female thing, system, whatever. I don't really understand it, so it's quite hard to try write about it, or remember all correct terms, I know them well only in finnish. But I'm trying to learn more and practise my english, maybe I understand better then. I don't mean to be offensive or rude or anything like that, but little stupid I may be, so please just correct me.

I don't know what else to tell you, so if you want to know more, feel free to ask.

Hello, Aleska!  Welcome!

I'm pleased that your found us and decided to join.  We have members from America whose English is not as good as yours  :P - don't worry about it!

I hope your reading and learning from the information on this site helps you with your confusion and doubt.  It certainly helped me.  But what helped me more was finding a gender specializing therapist.  Talking with him has helped me very much also and has even helped my wife to more easily accept my desire to change.

Until you find someone, though, feel free to use us as a resource.  This is a very supportive site with members who really care and want to help those who honestly ask for it.  I will look forward to reading more from you and I'm, again, happy to say,

WELCOME ! !  :)

Hi. Aleska.  (Hmmmm, sounds a lot like Alex.

Welcome to Susan's.  We have some very active FTMs here, and I'm sure you will spend time with them in the FTM portion of the Forum.  Do come over to Chat, too.   People are there all hours of the day and night.

You will also find useful information in our Links area and our Wikipedia.  Both are accessible from the Home page.

Thanks for you all. It's so nice to be welcome at least to somewhere. And good to know that my english isn't that bad.

I know Aleksa sounds a lot like Alex, but it's just genderfree form from that, which pleases me more. And I'm waiting for to get to a referal to a gender specializing therapist, but that's up to my psychiatrist, which I have for my mental problems. I could get it from a normal doctor too, but I'd feel better to get it from her.

It took me for a moment to understand why I should be interested in spending time specially with FTMs here when I don't have a slightest will to become a man, but I guess you, Robyn meant that they understand what it is to be in a woman form whitout wanting it. So thanks for the tip.

Welcome Aleska.  You may discover that you have no serious mental problems to resolve.  Most of them generally revolve around your gender idendity and how to fit into the real world.

Everyone likes to define themselves.  Let us know what that is, and we'll make sure we don't use the improper pronouns ;)

Your English is fine.  In fact it is much better than many people who live in the US.

Hi Aleska,

Welcome to Susan's... your English is fine and better than my Finnish.

I worked in Finland for 4 weeks, in Tampere, which during the Summer was an experience I will never forget.

Enjoy your stay, ask questions and the good people here at Susan's will respond.

Thanks again, and okay, I stop worrying about my english.

Define myself? Well, that's tricky. But I try, with using an example that might simplify things too much, but I don't know how else to do this. Well, everybody has blue jeans, or at least almost everybody. No matter what or who you are, you still has used blue jeans at sometimes. If you are a woman, you put on something like a pretty top with them, or if you're a man, shirt and necktie, or androgyne, that pretty top on top of shirt and necktie. I feel like I am just like those blue jeans. Not like I'd fit for everybody, but I'm not opposite with anyone, or any gender. Far as I've understood, neutrois is the word for that. And use any pronouns you feel like, I don't really care.
