Hi from Down-under!
I've had a brief visit to Susan's before, but only reviewing specific questions found during a search......so now having the chance to look closer, I can see this forum as a friendly community and a considerable knowledge base.
A Kiwi femme from New Zealand. I'm married (25yrs) with two sons. My SO knows of (Dawn) and while understanding is still on a learning curve with the complexity of it all. I don't fit into a category well, and slide readily from the fem CD to Transgender spectrum without fuss. That's not say I don't not know where I have been, where I am going or how I should get there, but that the trip is like a new ride each day! HRT has been initiated and I am happy not to have had to go through the Therapist & Counselling hurdles that so many others have had to endure to justify what they want. I have not by-passed the system, I am confident and knowledgeable enough to know what is going on in my life without the need for someone to reiterate the facts.
I still have a lot to learn and perhaps can share some of my experience. I will be back to add to my profile but thanks for letting me part of the community.
Regards
Dawn (Shiraz)

Hi from another Aussie!
Hi Dawn and welcome to our family here at Susan's. I'm sure that you'll find the right kind of information that you're looking for and soon you'll be posting with a lot of really nice and exciting people that have been down the same road as yourself.
Welcome from a fellow newbie :) Its seems there's always more to learn; I'm sure we'll both learn a lot here.
