Hi my name is Lyle. I'm a trans man (also are trans men allowed, or is this only for trans ladies? Because I will not be offended if asked to leave for that reason[emoji51]), 21 years old, from Oklahoma (unfortunately). I'm graduating college in may. I learned I was trans when I was 19 and started HRT about six months ago. In another six months, it'll FINALLY be time to talk about top surgery! My insurance requires me to be on hormones for a year before it will even think about covering top surgery.
I can't wait to make friends here at Susan's place.

Welcome to Susan's Place. Guys are more than welcome here. We don't have many of them around because for some reason, not many have joined the site. We all try to pitch in and if there is something we can handle you may find that your receiving advice from most anybody on the site. We might be a little weak on our surgical knowledge but I am pretty sure we can help you with most anything else.
I would also like to welcome you. After all, we are all trans (at least I believe that I am one). Many of us were the gender, you want to be, and we might be able to give you some gender specific tips for guys.
You are the gender I want to be, and you may be able to chip in with some hints from the girls side!
