I've been coming to Susan's (mostly lurking) for probably 3 years now. The community here has been a tremendous help to me and so many other people. It's just really a great thing to have such a diverse community in one place.
Back to why I'm thanking everyone . .
You've just been a great help with everything. I don't come here much anymore mostly because being trans doesn't have full control of my life anymore and I'm able to focus on other things - mostly school, finally enjoying a social life, work, family, relaxing. Anyways, everyone here has just helped me with more than they know and I wish I had a specific list of the most helpful people, but I don't =/.
I'm moving on in life, being trans had me stuck for a while, but not anymore. Quite often lately I actually question my identifying as trans in general as I feel like it's a part of my life that I want to forget. But I will never forget what made me who I am, nor will I forget the community. I'm going to college soon and I have pretty big dreams career and just life-wise. I plan on giving back to the community once I've finally settled down. I want to start & fund programs to help trans* people with financial difficulties get the things they need and just a bunch of other ideas I have in mind. Hopefully things will be easier for us by then though!
I'm all over the place. ANYWAYS! I guess this is all to say thank you thank you thank you thank you a million times. I hope to keep checking back and seeing the community here still thriving. You guys helped me become the person I am proud to be, I really don't think I would have made it this far without so much help and support.
