Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello,I am Michelle and I am a 31 year old pre op TS.I knew at the age of 7 there was some very differant about me and knew I was truelly a girl.I remember time when I watched my mom put on make up,slipping on pantyhose and I admired that.My mother did something no one would not do,she always left her closet open and I was always in there.I came out walking in my mom's heels and my mom giggled a little bit.I crossdressed for a few years and knew it was not enough.I had enough of it when I was 20 and fell apart.I came out to my parents including my brother Louie about this.It was easy for my mom taking the news.My father was a complete jerk about it and rejected me.My Brother took the news very well too and changed our lives in a positive way.I did seek help and was diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria.I was put on hormone therapy and I had more support even from my mom and brother.I met some new wonderful friends that are pre op and post op transsexuals which I listened to their stories.They helped me get through my transition giving me great advice.I decided to keep my male genitilia and did not have the srs becuase I felt it would be a huge regret later on.I only had breast augmentation and my adam's apple shaved.I admit my mom is is proud to have two GLBT children.My mom loves my brother and I still to this day.My brother Louie is gay and says I am a huge positive role model for coming out.My brother loves me as a sister and we have a tight bond to this day.
