Robyn Zola

Today at 08:53:26 AM
Hello everyone,

My name is Robyn and my egg cracked over the summer - shortly after my 60th birthday in May. I found this site just through internet searches and thought I would sign up. Although I've been here since 2004, I was born, raised, and served in the US.

I am pre-HRT. My blood work has already been done and I have an appointment this week with a therapist for my "indication letter" that my GP needs to prescribe speech therapy and hormones (after my endocrinologist consult in September).

I've come out to family, selected friends, and night before last to neighbors. I've been lucky that everyone is extremely supportive. All except my 13-year-old daughter, but given our very close papa-daughter relationship, I think that she needs time. In any case, that is where I am at - the start of the journey.

Thank you for having a community to join.

love,

Robyn

Welcome Robyn!

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 Robyn,

Welcome!  Transition often involves a lot of waiting.
While waiting it can be helpful to learn how to present appropriately as female. she/her pronouns selected.  If you haven't already I would learn about your skin tone/undertone. So much is based on what that is.

Hello Robyn,

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

Thank you for that wonderful introduction.

Many of us started later in life. It just seems that this is when we have time to think, are financially better able to do things, and are mature enough to make better decisions. Often, that means we have also established family, work, and other social relationships that can be difficult to manage with those decisions.

Feel free to browse the forums. You will find many stories about how others like us have handled tough decisions, celebrated milestones, or just got on with our lives. Feel free to comment and share your experiences too. We all learn from each other.

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 of what that forum is about, 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.

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!

Hi, Robyn. Welcome and congratulations. I'm sorry about the difficulty with your daughter, but 13 is a challenging age for anyone. I suspect she'll gt there in time. It should be very helpful to both you and her that you've got so much support.

It's great to have you here. I look forward to hearing about how things proceed for you.

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸
