Title: Susansology: Topics that recur ad infinitum!
Post by: MadeleineG on December 22, 2013, 05:05:28 PM
I've noticed, even within my short time on the site, that there are some topics that get discussed again and again and again. I thought it would be fun to start a list of perennial Susans discussions.

Think of it as part discourse analysis, part mild self-deprecation, and part fun-and-games thread. :)

I'll start:

1) My boobs ache... and I love it!  >:-)

I'm risking my life by adding this topic to the list as often ends up being all out war "will my feet shrink on E?"
I've seen the topic come up half a dozen times in the last couple of years & it hardly ever ends well so i'm not dicussing this, i'm just saying it comes up from time to time. . . . . . . .quicky runs away to find a safe hiding spot

In reference to your topic about boob ache, my nipples itch like crazy  ::)

If I transition I will only wear skirts and I love makeup so I will do it all the time - usually followed by many long timers saying they dont do that in the long run and a few saying that this is exactly what they are doing.

Idk but this reminds me of whenever Janet introduces herself to a new member.

"Hi (name) :icon_wave:, we're over (number of people on the site) strong!"

When she was on me it was like 5000-something, now it's like 8000-something. >.<

Not quite fair.  Some of our newer folks really have no idea how well they pass, at least in terms of facial features.  It is a quite common psychological phenomenon.
There is also the opposite kind of posts, I must say. Telling people they pass 100% when they do not may be positive and encouraging but also misleading.

Someone asked me what I meant in this post, so here's a better explanation:

I always rail against profanity on the site because most transsexuals say they knew something was up at a very young age.  I'd like to think these young people and their families can come here and not find the site looking like a barroom.

And thank you for saying it. As important as the site is for me as a support in my process, it's become an integral part of life for my entire family. My wife has an SO membership and posts semi-regularly and for my son eight year old, Susan's is about normalizing something that he isn't otherwise exposed to where we live. And he reads more of the site than people would imagine.

My son instantly recognizes people's avatars and nicknames, enjoys playing the Fun & Games threads with me, and revels in all of the Bad Jokes that I deem fit to share with him (and some that probably aren't). Oh, and lest I forget, thanks to Miss Bungle, he's watched several episodes of the Get Along Gang on YouTube  ;).

The other day, he asked me if he could join a Susans for kids.

It's important that we keep the real one family friendly.

Really? Awww, on one hand that's cool but on the other hand that stinks. My channels got taken down once American Greetings (the company that owns the rights to the show) found out about it. There are still several episodes up on other channels but I had some stuff up that no one else did. Oh well...that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Ltl posting her family issues and sharing how she once again is facing increasing anxiety over how she will be perceived by society.  That crazy girl never stops posting these rants! ;) :D 

To be honest, it's funny how the same things come up, but we all go through things at different points and feedback is always helpful (even if only to ease anxieties).  One of the great things about this site is finding other people who can relate with something most will never understand.  Back in the day, it would have been hard for trans people to find another person who went through the same thing and find the support they need. Yeah, we can be redundant here, but in a way it's a good thing. 

Okay, back to the silliness.
