Hello everyone.   I've been a reader (lurking sounds devious!) for some time and have finally decided to make an account so I can join in the conversation.  I'm not much into social media things.  About me, I'm in my early 60's and post op.  I've been aware from a very young age but didn't know anything about transsexuality.  I learned about crossdressing, which I did forever until I determined it wasn't really me.  I eventually learned that a person could be transgender and that was it.  I finally knew who and what I was.  Life has its ups and downs but I wouldn't trade mine for the world, well maybe a big winning lottery ticket!   I'm active in a support group with wonderful people I enjoy being around although I live a stealth life day to day.  I hope to be able to contribute here from time to time and be able to give back to a community of people I truly appreciate.

Since I have been reading posts for some time I do feel as if I know many of you. I hope to get to know you all.

Hi Judi 🙋 Welcome to Susan's Place.  I'm Jessica!
I love your term "reader" rather than lurker!  I hope you don't mind if I borrow that from you!
Your experience, being post op, can be of great help to many here.  I'll be looking forward for your comments and posts.

Please do read the links that Danielle gave you.  They can be very helpful and have many answers.  The one highlighted red are answers to commonly asked ones.

Smiles, Jessica

Thank you both.  As I noted I'm not an active social media type but who knows maybe that will change!  Borrow the term anytime you want Jessica.

Welcome to Susan's Place. There is plenty of room and work for those of us who are no longer spring chickens. Your knowledge and experience will be welcome by the members of the site. Just be careful because I came for a little information and before I knew it, they had me chained to the site. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know.
