Hi,
New to posting. Thanks to Dena for responding to me about how to do it!  I'm a trans man aged 53, 54 in 6 days and I came out roughly a month ago. I have two kids aged 16 and 13 a son and a daughter respectively who are also trans, so Susans place seems like a good site for me.  I have so many things to ask about but in the main I just want to have some contact with people who understand what I'm going through.  My son knows I'm trans but I haven't come out to my daughter yet as she is on the autistic spectrum and finds communication very difficult. Anyway if anyone feels like being in touch I would be glad of the company .  hopefully speak to some of you soon.

Hi 

Welcome to Susan's    Glad to have you here, join on in the fun

Hugs

Welcome to Susan's place. You are almost to the magic number of 15 where most of the features will unlock. When I got up today, I checked and you hadn't posted any questions so I figured you would get to it latter or perhaps you hadn't seen my message, I am glad that you found what you needed. The site has a limited number of very useful features and I am sure you will pick it up quickly and if not, you now know where to ask questions.

We have a thread somewhere and it is a bit surprising how often transgender and gayness can run in a family. They have a common cause and now it appears from others on the site that their is a genetic link even if it's unproven.

Your children may also join the site if they wish as we have a youth section. There are others in the youth section who are autistic as well.

I completed my transition 33 years ago so I have seen pretty much everything including years of post surgical life. Feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them. You will find others on the site are helpful as well and are a bit more up to date on the current surgeries though I am learning.

Dirty word, I just looked backing your posting history to see if you received the rules and your first post was the thread about a genetic link to transgender.

hi it turns out that when I search my name on google my posts from here come up. I need to delete them. Would that happen if I delete my account?

The best solution is if it's your user name, we change your user name to something else. Sorry but to the system you are just a number and when a name needs to be displayed, the number looks up the name. The advantage is changing the name in just one place changes it almost everywhere on the system. If it's a thread title, we can rename the title. If it's on a limited number of posts, we change a few. If you want privacy, feel free to PM me and I will handle it for you.
