Title: I can be me here, right?
Post by: LauraSpiral on December 08, 2014, 01:10:52 PM
Hi all, my name is Laura :)

Sadly, I was born with male genes, and I'm fully male, which I'm most of the time not happy about. I'm 19 from the UK, and I have been living as a male all my life. Since I was about 13, I discovered crossdressing, and since then I have been Laura, and I am never happier than I am when I am Laura!

My family don't know, and since I live at home, I cannot be myself, which is really painful and depressing. I cannot breach the subject with my parents, as I have tried to hint a few things about it but they have always responded negatively. I have no self confidence in myself, and it's really hard to be Laura sometimes!

I'm really hoping that, through this board, I can be myself. I've never gone public with myself before, and I am very anxious about writing this... But yes.

Nice to meet you all :)

Its hard for everyone at first, but yes you can be yourself here.

One of the first steps for me was realizing that I wasn't "fully male" but fully female just in a male disguise. I learned to look for Ashley in the mirror and when I started finding her that alone was a big help to me.

Laura,

Welcome to Susan's. Hopefully you will find here the support, confidence, and information that you were looking for. This is a great community, with some absolutely spectacular guys and gals; they'll be here for you, we all will, if you just put yourself out here and ask.

I am sorry about the situation with your family, sweetie, but with time your situation will get better.

So take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable; have a look around because this is your place. You absolutely get to be you here. Private message me if you ever need to chat.

Cheers, little sister,
Tegan

Thank you so much for all your support, it's made me quite emotional, it's been really hard without being able to let it out
