Hiya Michelle,

Nice to meet you. I live in northern (old) England so it's a bit of a trek for me for meet ups I'm afraid!

I'm not sure if there are any ladies near you or not, the US is a big place I hear! The good news is that you have joined a wonderful and supportive online community in the meantime.

Feel free to join in or start your own chats, the more the merrier.

I'm sure one of our admin will be along with the welcome mat for you soon.

Hi Michelle
Glad you're here. I look forward to hearing more about your journey

It's harder to love and create than hate and destroy. Love and creation takes more energy. Where hate and destruction can be done with a single word that can haunt you for a life time.

Hi!


      Welcome Michelle!

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Hi Michelle Kate

My name is Sarah and I would also like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!

I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well.

I'm really happy you found this site, also I love your enthusiasm.  You are never too old to explore what feels right for you, especially when it's bringing you comfort and happiness.

It's also completely okay to take your time.  There's no rush to decide anything.  You get to go at the pace that feels safest, calmest, most true to you.

And yes, hormones can bring a real sense of peace.  I know that when I started taking them, the constant longing or wanting to be a female went away completely, it felt like my mind finally got to rest.

As for the DC, Maryland, Virginia area, unfortunately I don't know anyone there so I can't help much with local connections.  Okay, I'm being funny here, I live in Australia.

I really hope you find a few friendly people nearby to hang out with.  Wishing you warmth, good company, plenty of joy on this path you're on.

Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the other forums and threads.  I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new members.

In addition members of Susan's will more than likely discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these issues as well.

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.

Take care and all the best for the future.

Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!

Best Wishes Always

Hi Michelle Kate. I'm so you're here! I'm 64 and considering HRT as I read story after story about many success stories from people in their 60s like me. I'm across the country but I look forward to hanging out in here with you.

Hi Michelle Kate,

Welcome. I'm an Aussie, relatively new here, and thia site has blown my mind.

The internet had me believe that crossdressing and transgender issues were for the young ones.

It seems something changes for a lot of us more, ahem, mature ones.

I thought I had burried this part of my life but now on the precipice of turning 60 it has coming screaming back like never before.

I look forward to seeing more of your story and experiences
