Arielle here, I'm new to Susans, and hope to find a little advice and a lot of friends.

A little about me, I was born and bread English, but just over a year ago moved to Switzerland, living in Zurich. Since school I have always had a difference, until college age I didn't work out what it was. I was envious of girls, their looks, the  way they dressed and the like. During college I really got this sorted in my mind. I went to university where I could have done something but didn't, so for the last 20 years I have been living a lie. Last weekend I came out to my parents, which went very well (and was a huge relief) and saw my doctor in the UK. Now I am waiting for my referral to come though, and planning the steps to going 24/7.
Currently doing NBE (please don't flame me, it does work), taking Peuraria Mirifica (phytoestrogen), Spearmint (antiandrogen), and Wild Yam(progesterone), and getting reasonable results.
Anyhow I plan to be at SCC, so hopefully I will get to meet some of you there.

Love

Arielle

welcome  and congratulations Arielle 

Hi Arielle,

Welcome to Susans and congratulations on coming out as trans.

Feel free to ask us anything (within the forum limits) and best of luck with your transition.

I'm going to try to make it to Southern Comfort, If I do make it your paths might cross.

Hugs

Gruzei Von Zuri oberland. I'm also English and transitioned last August 2013 - SRS in a couple of weeks. I did everything here in Zurich - psycho therapy, voice therapy and HRT - but going to Thailand for SRS as I don't like the Unispital process. Always doing things my way. There is a great endochrinologist in Zug who runs a Transgender centre.

I'm glad things went well with your family - mine are very accepting but back home in England so I don't get to see them much...

Hi Arielle and welcome to Susan's.

Hi All,
