Hi
I'm Cindy from Australia. Welcome to Susan's read the site rules that explain that you need 15 posts to post a pic and send emails etc. One of the mods will probably post that soon.
But welcome. I originally came from Liverpool and loved being in Wales (and no my name is not Noah), sorry.
Join in post and talk to us all, we are a friendly bunch
Hugs
Cindy

Hi Louise,
Welcome to the best site around for 'our' generation. Susan's was a great place back in the early 2000's; now, it's totally awesome. Fancy!! 8200 people call it home. That surely must put Susan in the running for the Noble Peace Prize, in all seriousness. Back when I wasn't too sure of what was going on, Susan's gave me an incrediable amount of information that has been tested by time, and is still true today.
Although you are a young 33, don't take too long to set your plan out. If you ask a lot of us 'oldies', the one main theme to come through is, "I wish I'd done it earlier". The info is here, and so is the relationships. Enjoy the journey, it can be a rollercoaster at times, but it a most amazing one to part of. Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv
Catherine
Hi Louise, it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm from Boston, and usually outnumbered by Australian girls here. See you around the site, hugs, Tracey PS I thought Jonah was from Whales?
Hi Louise, I'm from Bristol, if you are planning on transisioning through the NHS then you'll have to be patient as they could be beaten in a race by a snail, if this is so then I strongly recommend speaking to your GP asap to get the ball rolling, if your GP isn't supporting then it's your right to ask for another GP (my whole health practice seems to be anti TG but i'm signing up to a new one next week).
also, start saving as resupplying your wardrobe will be expensive but it's nothing compared to the cost of elecrolosys which isn't paid for by the NHS.
If you want any advice on dealing with the NHS (or anything else about the early stages) then feel free to contact me by PM, no matter how long it takes with the NHS remain calm, polite & patient.
Best wishes & big hugs
Ooohhh, Tracey,
Don't take it too hard. It's just we are in a differnet time zone. (Sometimes a different planet LOL) We love you just as much, and you do a spectacular job on your side of the creek.
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv
Catherine
P.S. Loved your play on words LOL
Well, I do what I can! The rest of the members may take a dim view of you encouraging me to play with words, though, see the limerick thread!

So Louise, is it North or South Wales? :)
It's north Wales, Anglesey :)
I used to visit Anglesey heaps. A great spot.
And yes Tracey I think it was Jonah, my religious education was spotty to say the least >:-). I thought uou had limericked yourself to a stand still. ( will she take the bait, me thinks :laugh:)
I'm fine Louse, it is just about 5 pm on Saturday 1 Oct. That's the difference in time zones. But the real reason is that Aussies are so competitive we are a day ahead of you guys :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:.
Hugs
Cindy
welcome, hows the weather in UK?
We still get the rain! a lot of it, but its handy for me as it means i can stay in and be Louise more often without feeling im wasting nice weather x
Cindy, I somehow missed your reply. More limericks, you say? Well, OK! Louise, this is for you *********One hundred suitors on one hundred knees, with fiery diamonds as big as you please, are trying to tease, and trying to seize, the hand of our sweet Louise!*********Hugs, Tracey
Oh No,
I've rekindled the monster :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Thanks Tracey :-* :-*
You should try going out Louise, when you are comfy with it. It isn't as terrifying as you think.
Hugs
Cindy
OK it's scary and I was shaking like a leaf. I met a (TG) friend in a gay pub and I was trembling so much I spilt my drink. A gay guy walked passed gave me a kiss on the cheek and said, you're doing fine relax. It was my first time out as Cindy.
Now it feel strange going out if I'm not as Cindy
Oh that was three or more years ago, when the bud opened and the flower saw the light of day. Finally.
A friend just sent me a poem by Maya Angelou. It sort of fits. :-*
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
The free bird leaps
on the back of the win
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hillfor the caged bird
sings of freedom
The free bird thinks of another breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
