Does me being here make people feel uncomfortable? Because I will never feel the alienation like you do but I do empathise. I was thinking about it as I became more comfortable here, I hope me here doesn't upset anyone but if it does I would rather know so that I can stop being a burden. I am scared I am invading, like all cis people seem to do and feeling an immense guilt from it.
I never feel out-casted here but I do out there and that is why I love to come back here.
It seems like there are a number of cis people on here (friends, family, etc). As long as people are polite it doesn't matter much. Plus, it's nice to have various perspectives on the forums.
Hi Nayhdia,
your name suggest you then cis-female, yes?
We have at least one other cis-woman with us and she is very welcome and most helpful and intuitive for all I can tell. She is a great asset to our MtF site all I can tell.
As far as I'm concerned to have insightful and accepting cis-persons to contribute is just great.
I can only speak for myself being a post-op MtF --- I'm sure there'd be plenty things you might contribute.
A warm welcome from,
Axélle
Awesome thank you, because I don't know what it is, maybe because you guys and girls have had so many hard ships or what. But I feel so at home here, so happy so good. I don't feel good with other cis people, they are too narrow minded for me. I am glad I don't make thing awful. :)
Nayhdia,
You are most welcome here. I hope that you will learn a little more about our little world and feel enlightened. Remember, the only stupid question is one not asked. So do ask. Just be prepared. Sometimes the answers are more than you asked for :P
Hi Nayhdia
How can anyone who is friendly a burden ?
No way, not possible.
I have cis friends all my life and one can never have enough friends, right?
There is not so much different between us, only that you were recognized as a girl by birth and I'm not.
Now, I'm just a woman like other women, so, if you were a burden, I am too.
I would say, welcome, nice to meet you.
I hope you will have a good time here.
hugs
Annette
Susans is open to anyone! You are not the first person to say they like the comfort level here. Glad you joined us, hugs, Devlyn

Uncomfortable? Not at all.. Having cis people here I think provides us with some valuable insight and sometimes a reality check.. :)
Welcome! :icon_hug:
I will echo the sentiments of everyone before me. Welcome.
I'm ok with it, so long as it makes you happy:)
I have some cis friends and even some family members are cis, so I'm accustomed to it.
You're more than welcome here :) It's another perspective, which can't be a bad thing.
Nope-it's actually good that you come here to gain insight. If more cis-people did that in the world we would be a bit more diversified.

Haha! This is awesome.
I'm a cis male and I've never been made to feel unwelcome here.
Well, Dalebert, I'm truly sorry we didn't pay attention.
Maybe it is a little late but of course you're welcome.
I'm glad there are coming cis people as well.
Hugs
Annette
I'm personally fine with the whole cis thing
As long as they keep that stuff out of our schools
What do you like doing? Do you know any trans people? Which continent/country do you live in?
I love playing guitar. Yes I know a trans woman, she plays bass I play guitar and we were thinking of starting a bad as we jam often, I am from Australia. :)
*Band. doh
Hi Nayhdia,
There are several Aussie boys and girls here. Including me. I'm in Adelaide, and I have friends all around Australia. We are a friendly bunch as you are finding out.
Everyone is welcome at Susan's as long as you follow the basic rules which are in the Announcement section.
Some of my closest friends are cis-females :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Always wanted to say that, ever since someone told me that some of their closest friends were Gay :laugh: :laugh:

Folks have been quite welcoming here, and not quick to take offense and my perhaps sometimes hamfisted way of expressing things. Speaking of which, I should make a separate post.
Nayhdia, you are certainly welcome here.
:)
