"CLARKSVILLE — In early January Bill Larson's 1,200 Facebook friends read a letter he posted on his page, in which he announced, "I am a transsexual. ... I'm going to be going through some changes in the coming year. Bill Larson is going away, and Susan Elizabeth Larson is taking his place.""

That's me everyone! What do you think?
I saw it when it was posted and was going to say something, but I couldn't work out what to say. I though I'd wait until someone else said something, but all was silent...
I'm happy for you of course, but I don't know how to relate to you.
It would be nice if you posted more on the public forums in a non-admin role. Perhaps under a different username if that helps?
I could say so much more, but again I don't know you well enough to say it. I wish I did.
vous regardez comme une femme debout sur un trottoir
Susan, could you even imagine something like this back in '97 or '98? Or even 10 years ago?
Big hug! It's liberating, isn't it? Hiding is for hiders, we don't need that. You're going to be able to do so much more for yourself and our community now that you can be your true self. :)
Hugs, Devlyn

No I really couldn't
Congratulations and thank you Susan for being so very public about your personal odyssey.
Transgender visibility is clearly needed and not just the celebrities and super passable models. Thank you for including a real story of what so many of us face in our journey to be ourselves.
Great article, Susan. Congratulations! And I love your avatar photo. :)
Excellent interview Susan! Hugs!

I just put the article on my fb wall with this message:
This article is an interview with one of my role models.
If it wasn't for her support site, Susans place I would not be here today.
She is the one who inspired me to devote my energy to fighting for trans equality.
Thank you Susan
P.S. Poopie says thank you for keeping my mummy around 😁
Here is what the actual story in the paper looked like! It continued on 4b with the interview questions and answers.
Oh btw I have been asked to come on the local talk radio station on Friday at 4pm CST.
