Deep Down, My Mom Had Long Suspected

When I Realised I Was Transgender I Was So Afraid Of What My Transition Would Do To Everyone Else In My Life And How They Would React To It And Would I Be Rejected?

It Really Bothers Me When I See People Doing My Mother In Drag. I Mean, Just Imagine If You Saw People Doing That With Your Mother.

For Me, It Was Never A Question Of Whether Or Not I Was Transgender. It Was A Question Of What I'd Be Able To Handle Transitioning And Having To Do It In The Public Eye. One Of The Issues That Was Hard For Me To Overcome Was The Fear Of That.

So When I Was About 13 Or 14, I Realized I Was Attracted To Women And Then Made The Assumption That I Was A Lesbian, And Didn't Realize That That Wasn't The Case. It Was The Fact That I Was A Man And A Heterosexual Man. The Issue Wasn't My Sexual Orientation, But Rather My Gender Identity.

I Want To Create A Place Where Trans People And Our Allies Could Come Together To Share Experiences, Information And Ideas. Being Transgender Or Loving Someone Who Is Transgender Can Be Challenging In Our Society And I Hope That Members Of This Site Will Also Use This Space As A Place To Support And Encourage Each Other. Together, We Can Strengthen Our Community And Open The Hearts And Minds Of Others.
