Just Trying to Be Myself…
I have no hidden agenda or motive to seduce, tempt or recruit another person to be someone I am not. I’m not seeking humiliation or attention. I would not wish my life on another person. My story is my own life, the many years society used their influence to try to normalize my path to be like them. It’s also about my quest to find the truth about who I am.
I made the decision, later in life, to be who I truly am and not wear the mask some in society would wish I return to wear. As Alice has said… “we were born this way.” … I was born this way. I did not ask to be transgender, it is who I am. I tried for decades to deny the reality of who I am. But it became clear in my life that I could no longer keep wearing that mask and hiding the truth.
Those who decide to wear a mask to blend / fit in it is OK. It’s your life and your decision to express and present yourself as you decide for yourself. I put no pressure or judgement on you. We all do what we need to do to survive, to blend. For myself I needed to understand who I was and that took time to sift through mountains of misinformation. I also need to be sure in my mind I was making the right choice.
For those of you who know you’re not transgender and are living your truth and expressing the gender identity your way I’m happy for you. I know it is hard to understand how I, with a male body, could have a feminine gender identity. That I would be more than willing, in fact elated, to remove my male organs and have female parts. Gender dysphoria is real and not made up.
This is not play time, role-play or some fantasy in my life. It’s not something I decided on a whim. My decision was very carefully considered over years and much soul searching. But I don’t need or deserve to continue to hear the ugly demeaning things some people continue to say about transgender people. It’s my life to live as a happy productive member of society expressing the gender identity that I am.
Let’s just live and let live. You don’t have to understand it. Let’s just respect each others right, as human beings, to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
