Hello all, My name is Elaine, and I am taking the first steps of beginning my own transition tomorrow. Really excited, and just as nervous. :-X I am MtF and looking for a friendly place to discuss any questions and/or worries I may have. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much!! :)
Hi Elaine, welcome to the site :) Someone will be along before too long to post some good info about Susan's you can read through. So what is the step you are taking tomorrow if I may ask? First therapy session? Coming out to someone? Starting HRT? Regardless of what it is, congrats ^_^
First therapy session, I did come out to a friend a while back, but later regretted it. Thanks for the support. :D
Welcome Elaine!

I hope your first therapy session goes well :) I had my first session a couple weeks ago actually and my second one is tomorrow :P
Said friend tends to have a loose tongue while drinking, which is often anymore. I was raised to be very masculine, and am quite good at using sarcasm to walk around the truth. I would treat it as a joke and have to subtly change the subject. But that's neither here nor there, and I'm just happy to be moving forward again.
Hi Elaine, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm the resident Bostonian. I'm glad you found us and are moving forward again. The little steps add up to a big journey. See you around the site!
Hugs, Devlyn

That's great! congrats :)
Thank you, Amy. I made a single questioning mention about my dog being my companion and now I'll have a companion letter for her next week. YAY! I'd be lost without my little hound dog.
Welcome to Susan's, Elaine. Congratulations on starting your transition.

Hi Elaine, Welcome to the site! I hope your first therapy session goes well.. mine was amazing when I had it; a huge weight was lifted from me after. The world just seemed brighter from then on!
