Hi everyone!
I am new to this wonderful site and so pleased to have found you all. I have recently started dating a wonderful lady who, it transpires, is trans. This hasn't altered the way I feel about her at all. She's the same person she was before this extra piece of news was told to me. So far as I view it, she was born with a birth defect which is to be corrected (I truly hope this hasn't offended anyone, it really isn't intended to!). This week she was placed on the waiting list for the final reassignment surgery. Exciting times. I am hoping to be able to support her whether we work as a relationship or not (it's early days, but I'm hopeful) and wondered if I might be able to get some help along the way from you please. Would that be ok?

Welcome to Susan's! That's excellent that you are so supportive of her. I really hope that things work out in the long term for you two. You sound like an awesome person. After reading the links Cindy gave you, there's plenty of topics regarding transitioning, and there is a significant other's forum as well. I'm sure you will find a lot of good information in order to be the best support you can be.
