Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi to everyone,
My name is Andii and have recently had a huge event take place in my life which has forced me to have a look at who I actually am.

I was born female, present as female (most of the time this is fine), but I have never considered myself a girly girl even though I physically look like one...blonde hair, blue eyes, very feminine features and big boobs. If you were to see me you would never guess that I mentally 'float' between genders.

I usually start the day as neither but as I dress and put on makeup I am start to settle into female mode. If I find myself in a situation where I am more comfortable being male, I will switch as required.
I don't like having to distinguish 'male' or 'female' I am just me. I don't understand the importance on gender labelling.

This has always been the case for as long as I can recall but have always been comfortable in my skin so I have never addressed it fully before. Looking back now, I can see that I have chosen certain paths based on my fluid gender and I don't feel any shame or have any regrets.

As I have said, I don't care for labels but I am thinking that I am bi-gendered. I often see myself without gender...I am just me.

A friend recommended this site to me and I looking forward to this journey of self discovery. I am finding it interesting reading about other people's stories and am learning more about myself in the process.

Happy Easter!

Hi Yubel,
Interesting...I am still learning all the variations and at I seem to tick boxes in a few areas at the moment. I have read briefly on 'two spirited' and yes, some of that applies as well.  Maybe over time my therapist will find a label or maybe more than one that fits. Honestly, it's not a concern to me but it may be useful for those near and dear to me...so they understand me better.

Thanks Yubel for your input.  :)

Hi Shelly

Many thanks for your welcome message. Look forward to hearing more about your journey.

Welcome to Susan's, Andii.  :icon_flower:

There's a lot of good information and good people here.  Each of our stories is unique but we have a lot in common.  Settle in, pull up a keyboard, and explore.

We come in great variety.  I had always thought I was both and neither male/female but have found out lately that I was just a male-bodied female.  (Boring! ::))

Good luck in your explorations to find the real you. :icon_wave:

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the message. One thing I have learnt so far is that one could never be classed as 'boring' if they are part of this community..  :laugh:

There is a wealth of information here and I can see that I am going to be kept busy for some time.

Andii xx
