Hello my name is Chloë. I'm a man living in Oregon. I started crossdressing and feeling i was the wrong gender at 8 years old. The few times my Mom caught me in her clothes i was told i was a sin. I feel I've been living with a dark secret all my life and and have thought about or tried killing myself. I recently started thinking of transitioning. Unfortunately in my area of the state there doesn't seem to be any help. I've been unemployed for 9 years. The closest place in state is Portland. I jsut don't know what to do or where to begin :(. I'm was looking for help or support in the part of my life when i stumbled in here.
welcome Chloe, I have been in similar situations. You are not alone. I'm at the beginning of my transition,(pre everything). I hope you find your answers.

Hi Chloe and welcome to Susan's.

Hey Chloe,
I live on the coast near Astoria and can recommend the Q Center in Portland to you. Check out their website and schedule of events with several support groups for trans people. We also have a trans support group and growing Q Center in Astoria. Check out Facebook sites for transgender people here too.
There are thousands of contributors and ten times more passive readers here, you are not alone. I hope you will feel comfortable enough to share some of your questions with us and enjoy the treasure trove of past posts.
thank you. i have bookmarked their site. Unfortunately anything at or near Portland for in person stuff might as well be on the moon :(
