LGBTQ Nation

β€” Not one person when I was growing up encouraged or attempted to coerce me into being trans, I just was, and I knew it even before I knew other trans people existed.

When I heard a description of trans people for the first time I knew what how I felt was called. I discovered something could be done to make it better. And I decided at that point transitioning was a life goal for me.

β€” 39 years later I was able to reach that goal. Something I would have done years earlier if I had parental support or the financial resources to medically transition on my own.
