Hi Lucy,
A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in start talking and ask any question you like. You're quite safe here and we are very accepting.
Glad to hear you've made the biggest choice ever. Admitting to yourself, who you really are. Don't worry about the world, they can look after themselves, you just need to concentrate on you, till he jobs done. Nobody in your circle of influence is going to understand, anyway. Spend your time wisely with building your self esteem and confidence.
Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
