Deep Down, My Mom Had Long Suspected

Parents Have To Understand: If Your Kid Isn't You, Don't Blame The Kid.

What Mom Cares About Most Is That I'm Happy, Healthy And Enjoying My Life.

Around 2001, I Started Analyzing Lesbians. I Started To Realize That Even Really Butch-acting Or -dressing Women Still Had A Strong Female Identity That I Never Had.

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?

I Thought, Transgender People Are Much Worse Off Than I Am. That's Why They're Willing To Risk Everything To Be Who They Are. But The Older I Got, The Harder It Got To Stay In My Body.
