Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello everyone!

I haven't been here in quite a long time.  A friend and I were discussing various places on the net we had visited over the course of our transitions when I remembered all of the great people and information I had found here.  Feels like a lifetime ago now, and I suppose it was in many ways.

It was 22 months ago and I had just come out of a terrible nervous breakdown from years of denying who I was.  I was scared, alone, and searching for answers to all these questions I had.  Luckily many friendly people here gave me great advice and information which allowed me to move ahead.

Since those dark days nearly two years ago, the following has happened:

Received a clean bill of health from my GP (09/07)
Started electrolysis and laser (ugh... 22 months and STILL not completely done!) (10/07)
Diagnosed GID (10/07)
Referred to endocrinologist (10/07)
Came out to friends, family, and employer (11/07 - 03/08)
Began HRT (03/08)
Began living full time (08/08)
Lost my job due to transition (11/08)
Ended my relationship with my father (03/09)
Started new career in stealth (06/09)
Received approval for GRS (07/09)
GRS scheduled for March 4th, 2010. (my birthday)

Its a simple point form of what has happened, but I am overjoyed to be able to tell you all how amazingly happy I am living as the woman I always was inside.  HRT has done some very amazing things to me and I am almost completely unrecognizable from the person I was two years ago.

Luckily, I blend in nearly perfectly.  No odd looks or anything anymore.  Even the people I work with have no idea.

It has been an amazing journey, and I would be happy to tell you more of my experiences or answer any questions you may have.

Much love,
