Since I don't hide claims like these, I am posting this utter drivel here in public for your perusal. My full response is included. That's all the consideration this message gets from me.

I have decided to report you to the IRS.
You steal money from people for your own use without using it for your site. You make money from misleading trans people to believe that you are transitioning. Your pictures obviously show that you are just a crossdresser and that you steal money ( donations  as you call them ) from weak people to fund your own lifestyle.

Let's see what the IRS and the Police will think about this.


This is pure theft since no one ever has seen a receipt and since you need so much money each month which goes into a secret account.

For everyone's sake, let's report you to the IRS. I will do it with pleasure. They will also report you to the police and you might face a trial for fraude and theft.

That's what you disearve after all for abusing people like this.


Let's see how fast they will take your fetishistic '' true trans '' site down. I think very very fast.

You can play a hun behind bars when the IRS will get to know this.


Regards ,

an honest person who wants to save the rest from your disguesting activities.

This is my response. If anyone has any questions please let me know.

QuoteThe site is not a non-profit, never has been, and I have never claimed it to be. What the monthly goal is used for is fully documented on the site.

My medical record, Therapist Letter (May 2000), California Birth Certificate, Tennessee Drivers License, and my entire facebook account proves you wrong on the transition part, as you well know. 

I look forward to talking with the IRS and/or police, I will be sure to show them this email, and the others sent by you and the others to prove a campaign of harassment (TCA 39-17-308), stalking (18 U.S. Code § 2261A, TCA 39-17-315), and what will be clearly false reports and claims (18 U.S. Code § 1001, TCA 39-16-502) by you in violation of the law.

Once contacted by either them I will be talking to my lawyer about coming after you personally both legally and financially. My attorney is Joe Weyant, He handled my name change for me. I am certain that he will enjoy taking this case.

Please feel free to contact him in the future with your threats.

Be sure to have a wonderful life.

I am not afraid, because I have absolutely nothing to hide.

If you like what you get from this website, then donations are appreciated, if not don't donate. If you don't believe this site to be 100% reputable and above board don't donate. No one is looked down upon, is forced to donate, or is denied access to the site and its resources because they can't or won't help to financially support it. It's that simple. Your donations are a visible and much needed gift saying thank you; nothing more, nothing less.

I really get tired of all the uninformed judgements that take place against Susan. I will admit that I have had very little direct contact with her but she is so much a part of this site that it's hard not to know her through her work. Running this site isn't a simple operation. For every user on the site there are often 10 guest who don't contribute to the operation of the site. This places a heavy load on the server and require a rather large pipe to the internet to handle the traffic. Susan rents a very small house and the server occupies about half of her front room leaving little room for furniture.

You only need to read Susan's story to know she is transgender and has lived with the same discomfort that we live with. While Susan has run a serve for 20 years, approaching half her life time, there is a story why you will find only 10 years of posting history on this site. Much of that time she paid for the operation of the server out of her own pocket leaving her with little that she could call her own. She had so little that she went for years without HRT because she couldn't even afford that. Yes she may be pushing donations a bit more but there is a reason for that as well if you take the time to look for it.

While I don't know Susan, I have come to know my boss on the site Cindy. There is a close bond of friendship between Cindy and Susan and that's because Susan has never given Cindy a reason not to trust her integrity. Because of what I have seen, I continue to contribute money and time to the site. You are free to look at my profile and my stats to see how much I believe that the site is being operated fairly and with the interest of the user in mind. If I felt differently, I wouldn't contribute to the site and I wouldn't put in the extra effort required of me as a moderator.

You are not required to contribute to the site if you don't have the desire or money to do so however it would be best to learn the truth about Susan before giving false accusations.

Wow, who is this person? I sincerely doubt that they are actually Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie

Maybe they should be reported for trying to impersonate celebrities and using that guise to threaten people

The only problem I have with the donation thing is that I wish I was able to donate, unfortunately I often don't even know how I'm going make it through each month

Definitely if my luck should ever change some how I will happily throw my bit in the kitty

Sorry you are having to deal with this kinda stuff

All the best

Hugs

V M many, if not most of us are in the same boat you are. I long for the day when my personal income is such that I can donate. Mostly these days I balance what services are going to be cut off this month so that I don't get evicted. A simple visit to my sister becomes a major undertaking. All that I can do at this time, and especially in light of an attack like this, is express, again, my love and adoration for Susan and Susan's Place. Being here has literally save my life, probably more than once.

Susan, Cindy and all who do keep, or have kept, this place running will always be like family to me.


(Yes, yes, I know. Why don't I volunteer then? I can't give you good reasons. Or maybe I just haven't found my niche.)

"no one has ever seen a receipt" ??   Paypal sends out the receipts just fine.
I got mine.
Maybe the guy doesn't know how to use email?

Why dignify this blather with a response??  Simply block the sender and voila!  Problem solved.

These internet troll really annoy me, all we are trying to do is get along with our lives and gain knowledge of how we can achieve our goals
This site provides good information to all who ask, I have only been here for a short time but it seems a very friendly place to hang out.
Just block the idiot

I had a close relative who was severely paranoid schizophrenic l, and she was known to write letters to the President (of the US) and would claim to have gotten personal replies from him. This relative would also write letters to local law enforcement about imagined infractions by the neighbors, asking for investigations, arrests, and specific numbers of years of incarceration for the (alleged) ne'er-do-wells.

This letter is very much in that style.

I'm sure the Office of the POTUS as well as the police have experience with letters like this, as delusional and/or grossly misinformed people are unfortunately pretty common.

You know you're doing things right, so if the IRS develops an interest because of her letter, then fine, you'll interact with the IRS about it...but you need not reply to this person, because if they are paranoid schizophrenic or uninformed, they won't care about your response. They care about someone paying attention to them, or to acknowledge their "world."

A possible response, if you feel a need to do so, would be something short and sweet, would be:

"Thank you for taking the time to contact me about this matter. I assure you that I will give your email/letter all due consideration.

With appreciation,

(signed)"

Keep it available for a quick copy and pasted (or do one of those fancy schmancy "macro" things I've heard about) and voilá!, a short and sweet "now bugger off" reply.

On a completely different type of website I have been moderator / content creator on, I have received various threats. The site owner eventually shut it down, just due the stress from the threats she received.

I am positive that celebrities would not bother with behavior such as is represented by the letter in this case.

If it were not for my low income, and medical expenses, I would contribute.

I am well satisfied sending in my monthly donation and don't really care what Susan spends it on. Why last month she even went out to dinner. Gasp. Sometimes people just want to be an ass. Is that your goal? Then you have succeeded.  Since I don't need your approval on how and where I spend my money, I will continue to send her money. I am proud to support such a site as this as both the Administration and the site users that make it so vital a resource. We come here with a mind full of mush. And leave as informed human beings.

I hardly see where it even matters if Susan were misleading us, and is really the devil incarnate. This site has been deemed by subscribers to be a useful service that deserves funding and they fund it. Susan presumably uses the money to fund the site (and possibly her labor, I mean no one deserves to work for free) and no one is putting a gun to anyone's head telling them to donate. People are free to leave or commit no resources into the website.

It is as simple as this, if someone thinks that Susan is so bad, or is "stealing" from the members of this site, then I think they should put their money where their mouth is and make an alternative and fund it themselves and never ask for the community to contribute their own resources, I hope they enjoy working for free.

I've been a member of this site off and on since 1997.  I even spent some time in the late 90s as a moderator back in the days when we had individual boards we moderated.  At the time, I had the Crossdressing and Religion boards.  Now, I've never met Susan IRL but I have interacted with her for a long time.  If I didn't think this site was worth it, there is no way I would be a subscriber and no way I would donate when I can.  But I know this site has helped a LOT of transgender people and I know for a fact this site has saved a LOT of lives.  So subscribing and donating doesn't just help Susan or yourself, you're keeping people alive.

I believe that this letter to Susan may have come from what I believe is technically called a "crackpot".   The IRS gets thousands of these bogus fraud reports every year.  They frown on it.  Technically, it is providing false information to a government agent, a Federal offense.

I bet nothing actually happens.  (I've been on the receiving end.)

Do we have any "disguesting activities"...is that kind of like being a non guest? LOL

This Einstein can't evan use a spillcheckar....and they are right I am a weak person, which is why I support Susan in her obvious attempt at world wide Trans Domination muwhahahah(think scarey 1920's vampire sound)  ...I mean, come on we "know" what the real agenda of this web site is...muwhahahah

You don't actually provide thousands of genuine lost souls with a light in a very dark place, you don't help prevent the terrible loss to suicide we as a community experience, you don't of course provide a safe place from morons like this one...Oh yeah!!!!! World Wide Trans Domination I say!!!

Seriously though, the haters gonna hate. You do a fine job and provide a great site. If I CHOOSE to donate it is because I support the aims and goals of this site. I for one understand that this is not a non-profit organisation. I think from memory Susan's has actually said I need money for X this month. You have been open and transparent.
   
Yours in weakness LOL

I received another message, one of the things they claimed was I was self medicating since "No normal doctor would prescribe a crossdresser with fetishistic intentions a course of hormones. That's why you have to self-medicate."

This is my response...



I pixelated the last part of my prescription number...

Wanna know why i was off hormones so long? I refused to have a policy against self medicating, and then go and do so my self; even though several people I trust and respect suggested I do so.

The rest was simply a rehash of the first message.

Love you all!

You have nothing that needs explaining as far as I am concerned...I must admire you for taking the stand you did..to "give in" (not really a good description) and self medicate would have been a much easier thing to do.

My admiration for you has only increased after reading your story. You can count yourself as one of my heroes.

Yeesh, This person's farty attitude knows no bounds

I'm guessing that they are a banned member who is out for revenge and may have rejoined under a guise and may even be monitoring this topic to view people's replies

Give 'em enough rope, eventually they'll hang themselves with it

Susan, I am sorry you have to put up with this crap.  Susan's Place has been a godsend to me in figuring out who I am and where I want to go.  I couldn't have done it without this site.

I understand how the site finances work and that part of the revenue goes to support you.  You have earned it after putting off your transition for 20 years to run the site!  Knowing this, I am happy to subscribe, and to donate a bit when I can.  You can quote me on that if you want.

Internet trolls are around a dozen. They love hiding behind the anonymity of their disguise. If I were you, I'd stop giving them information. If they think they have legal support, let your attorney handle it. You probably have enough on your plate, without having to digest what the trolls are serving up.
