Hey guys,

This might be a bit of a weird one. When I was 13 and first had access to the internet back in 2004 (I'm getting old...), I tried to find people that felt like myself. I probably googled something entirely cringe like "Why do I feel like a girl". I ended up finding a website called something like "Susan's Angels". I'm 33 now and I'm having a bit of a hard time so I was wondering if this forum was linked to Susan's Angels at all? Or does it just share a similar name? All I can remember about the site was the pink/purple-ness of the site with a glittery butterfly in the header? It was very 2000s with the <table> html layout.

Anyway, regardless, here I am! Back again maybe? 20 years wiser and finally feeling myself I guess? I'm not very good at talking about it or myself really. Don't know what to put in a hello introduction message? How is everyone? Hope you're all doing well?

Hi alsoKnownAs!

Welcome!

archive.org may be a useful resource for hunting down old web sites.

Hello A.K.A.,

I'm Lori Dee. Welcome to Susan's Place!

Thank you for that wonderful introduction.

We strive to make this a safe place to find information and share your thoughts and comments. No matter who you are, you are always welcome at Susan's Place.

The Susan's Angels website sounds like it might have been before this one, but I don't believe they were ever connected. Susan's Place began as a platform for Susan Larson to share her story, and it has since evolved into a valuable resource site. We have so much information here, from news to member blogs and everything in between.

When you click on the HOME button, you will see a page listing all of the various sub-forums by category and topic. Each sub-forum has a description outlining its purpose, as well as any guidelines for posting.

Please keep in mind when posting that this is an ALL-AGES PUBLIC Forum and the internet never forgets. Do not post anything that you do not want to be made public.

I will add links below that are important for new and returning members. Pay special attention to the links in RED.

Until then, if you have any questions about the Susan's Place site and the Forums, please feel free to contact me at    LoriDee605@outlook.com

Once again, welcome to Susan's Place!

~ Lori Dee

Thanks guys, I do recognise the old logo so perhaps I've remembered the name wrong? It was 20 years ago.

I did try and upload an avatar to make a bit more of a personal hello but I couldn't figure that out! Sorry.

I guess I signed up again because I need a bit of help tbh, I've been struggling recently with my medication, doctors have taken it away because I'm 'too stressed' and it's pretty upseting and guess what? Stressful! But anyway, I really need some trans friends I think? I've been going it alone for so long now. I think perhap I became a bit of a transhobic trans person when I first came out? Not quite Blare White transphobe, everyone should be who they are and I don't judge others who are different to myself. I had a few experiences of transphobia and some not nice things from trans people irl and on the internet and I guess I've really struggled to open up since. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say? I'd like to try and open up again and make some friends. Also had a few stalkers, they were fun.
Sorry if I come across as a dick, I don't want to go into it too much. Hope you understand.

Anyway, I will try to stick to the rules! I'm a bit useless with forums! Don't particularly know what to do!
