Hello!
I have been floating around this forum for the last 2 weeks or so but thought I should also do an introduction.
This is actually my second account, the first one I started logged me out of the forum on my phone.. I was using Tapatalk and didn't have a password for Susan's place and also hadn't accepted the confirmation email.. I got stuck in an endless loop of computer errors.. Oops. It seemed like my only option was to start again

I originally downloaded Tapatalk to use with a different crafting forum, but I had a few things on my mind and thought I would see if there were any transgender forums using the same app. Did a quick search and Susan's place popped up.
I think with my first post I just wanted to vent out my current train of thought.. Sorry about that.

About me:
I'm a cis lesbian living in Australia, and currently dating a transgendered woman. We have been together for about a year and a half now and I couldn't be happier.

So really I'm only here to support, or be in the "significant other" section, ... I feel like a bit of an imposter viewing a place for transgender persons to chat about their issues.

But everyone has been very welcoming and I've seen a few posts about sexuality/ identifying as lesbian while being MtF or looking for tips on makeup or handy hints to know as a femme woman, and those are things I can definitely offer a bit of advice with if its wanted.
My partner and I are both extremely feminine and a lesbian couple

Welcome!! You and Savannah are a beautiful couple!!

Lilly,
Welcome! You are such a cute couple. SO's are fantastic and have been known to need to talk things out too. Support and being supported, you have come to a good, safe place. See you around.

Yay! the official welcome message, Thank you, I made sure I read some of the links I saw posted for other peoples welcomes/ for newbies.

I did wonder how many people might know Savannah or I from facebook.. She has so many friends from all over the world! The transgender community really seems to stick together (I might even say moreso than the L/G/B)

I joined using an anonymous name (Lilly) as I first wasn't sure what I might want to post about or talk about, or if I wanted to anonymously talk through things that might come to my mind regarding relationship type things, but I don't think thats the case, I'm a very open person and I don't think there is anything I need to say anonymously. besides, I've never been happier
So for any friends of Savannah's who might happen to come across this, you would know me as Karrie on facebook.
(just so you don't think someone is stealing Savannah's or mine pictures )

Awww cute, welcome! :3

Hi Lilly and Savanna

Welcome to Susan's, You two look great and look very happy together.

I look forward to reading your posts.

Both looking fantastic and wonderful to hear about your relationship particularly how happy you are together.

It has been a worry about the possibility of finding love with another woman should my wife ever decide she wants a guy instead of a girl in her life. As living proof of the possibility it's great to see you both.

Looking forward to hearing more about..... well everything tbh but for now just a big warm welcome x

It is possible that even if a spouse may be very supportive of the transition... A wife may still feel that she is a heterosexual woman, this can't be helped sometimes. Just as you may need to express your gender, she may need to be true to her sexuality. That doesn't mean platonically people can't support each other though

And if it comes to it, there are always women out there who are interested in dating other women or non binary folk.

Here, have another favourite picture of mine
Having a girly shopping day with Savannah.

I like these pictures of Savannah and I.. They break so many stereotypes of lesbians and transgender people. I'm not butch and she isn't scary as the media would make out [emoji1]

Very true and that is exactly what I'm prepared for in the end. 

Ultimately I just want her to be happy and if that means she needs someone else I'd do my best to make it happen for her.

She is definitely hetro which is a problem for obvious reasons but she just might have some wiggle room in her orientation between her thoughts and feelings as when the notion takes her to... take me it's amazing.

It's early days and we're both still changing a lot physically, mentally & emotionally as we undo the past couple of decades and get to know each other.

Fun times ahead with so many possibilities x

Lovely pic both looking fab x

Lilly, it really does very. I'm in the unique stop of being someone who has transitioned and then having a husband who is on the trans spectrum themselves, but that is a story for another time. Anyways welcome and I look forward to seeing you around the forums. Good luck and hugs

Thank you everyone

And guess what! Facebook just reminded me with its "memories" thing that it's been a year since Savannah's public transition.

Well, we celebrated her transition a few weeks ago on the real date, but the video didn't air on TV until today one year ago

Fantastic and congrats

It still amazes me how fast a year can disappear but great when the year can be linked to life changes x

Did anyone see this?
We had only been dating a few months back then
