Hi everyone,

My name is Alyssa, I'm 20 years old, and I'm mtf.

I'm here because my therapist suggested I join a forum to converse with other transgender people, as well as to receive support, and answer any questions I might have.

I've been posting on image boards a lot, but I've never really been a formal member of any kind of forum community, so excuse me if I make some newbie mistakes.

I have been going to a gender clinic since late August and I'm due to start HRT sometime in November, but as of right now I'm pre-everything.

I look forward to meeting new people and maybe making some friends.

Hi Alyssa,it's nice to meet you.This is the place to make new friends and there's lots of information here.Hugs,Rachael.

Hello Rachael!

That's awesome, I'm always happy to make new friends, and information is always good.

I can't figure out how to upload an avatar though. Maybe I need a certain number of posts? Or maybe it's a permission thing. I don't know.

In any case, it's nice to meet you.

Welcome Alyssa!

Thank you JenJen!

It's nice to meet you.

Hi Alyssa, welcome to Susans! You can add a pic and edit your profile after 15 posts, take a peek at the site rules and TOS it's all in there. I'm glad you found us, see you around, hugs, Tracey

Aha, thank you Tracey, that makes sense now.

I'll keep posting then.

I just came back from getting my eyebrows waxed for the first time. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would and I wasn't super red afterwards, I did bleed a little though.

Anyway it's nice to meet you.
