Susan's Place Transgender Resources

from the warm Arizona desert. Supposed to get hot, 119 or so this weekend.

I'm a girl who desperately tried to be the boy whose body she was born into for way too long. I've finally found a wonderful therapist and doctor. Just started HRT nine days ago. At 58 yrs old, I've finally accepted who I am and am on my way to transitioning.

Tonight I have a red mustache. Well, not really, but it looks that way. Had most of my upper lip area cleared with electrolysis earlier today. Pretty red and swollen. But it's gone!

Our minds are a wonderful thing to have, and I wouldn't want to loose mine, but, they can be a big pita at times. While I'm thrilled about starting the transitioning process, my mind keeps bombarding me with "what the hell are you doing"!? I know what I'm doing, I think it's the wall of fear that's currently between me and coming out to family and close friends, that's causing it. Trying to plan my coming out strategy. I've been living about 90% full time for quite a while now and can't wait to be 100%.

I am a 50-something too.  We have several quite active Arizonans on the boards.  Welcome.

Thanks Jamie. I'm jealous, I love the weather in So Cal.

Hi HM, :icon_wave:

Welcome to our little family. Over 11795 . That would be one heck of a family reunion.
