I would like to thank Susan for making such a very ever changing room for people who are trans and seeking for help with questions and concerns.  This is a great place to meet others of many ages and genders  from around the world.

For I found this site by doing a google search for Gender Therapist and I came across the site and found it too be very helpful.  Made many friends and hope to learn from their transition and their life as they become the person they was born to be in life. 

If one ask where I am located and I will disclose that information as I live in Michigan or better known as the state that can change weather within 5 minutes. 

Now as for my transition began when I was in HS and loved to dress up in female clothing and make-up -- had to love the different hair I could wear too.  As most people thought it would be a phase but to speak the trust it was a phase but I kept it hidden for many years.  I would go over other guys houses and dress up as a female and then go out on the town to clubs/bars to socialize with others of the same gender.  I had thought bout transition several times but really never understood the process on how to make the transition.  Now as times have changed and i ve learned how to transition to be a better person as a female/male.  Yes, I stated female/male as I do not plan on going through with SRS as I am very happy with my male anatomy but desire to have the upper as female.  Now, I know you think this is wrong but to speak we are each created to become the person we desire so one can't judge ones gender or tell them what gender they should be in life.  This is one persons choice to be happy and secure.

If you have questions please ask others who are going thru the transition or do some research first before you decide. Then also talk to a Gender Therapist or Therapist of your choice if you desire to be on HRT and receive further counseling.  Be safe and happy in your choice of life as we are loved by the Almight Above GOD.....

hi  Ephoria

  I am Laurie, I am mtf and in the process of change. Welcome to Susan's Place ((Hug)). The way you wrote your intro kinda confused me. On on hand you sound like you have been around the forums a long time and made many friends and on the other you appear to be a new participant. Well it doesn't really matter, You are welcome here either way and just as your gender desires are not the simple binary, but more of a fluid nature you are welcome here as you are. Susan's is a place of support for all flavors of gender identity.
  Your questions on your second post are answered in the links Dena posted for and the one concerning posting an avatar is in the red link.
  We are glad you found us and hope you find what you are looking for.

Hugs,
   Laurie

All that is covered in those links Dena gave you.  Post ranks, when you can edit your profile and set up an avatar (that picture with your name) is all covered in there. 

Take a look.  There is lots of good information.

Thank you so kindly for the reply and I will be looking for this in the future.  Its such a beautiful day in Michigan filled with plenty of warm and sun. 

Hi Ephoria, welcome to Susan's Place! There's plenty of room on the forums for the unicorns and
exotic hybrids (like me).    Looking forward to your posts. See you around the site!

Hugs, Devlyn
