Deep Down, My Mom Had Long Suspected

Obviously The Transgender Movement Has Not Progressed In The Way That The Gay And Lesbian Movement Has. But Im An Activist - Thats Just The Kind Of Person I Am.

I've Been Embraced By A New Community. That's What Happens When You're Finally Honest About Who You Are; You Find Others Like You.

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.

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.

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?
