Dear Stephie Oh! how I loved your post we all have similar stories. The first time I looked into the mirror saw a girl looking back at me. The woman that I now know named Barbra. The most wonderful warm feeling came over me. Seeing my true self for the first time but not really understanding the world and lifelong struggle that was before me. I do love and accept who I'm and work every day at being that girl in the mirror!

Hi Stephanie, I read this article when you first posted it. Wow! Almost 5 years ago. That seems impossible. I can only imagine how much you have grown as a woman. Thank you for your example.
I don't believe I commented when I first read the article. I wasn't too much in love with myself then.
Lots of water under the bridge since then. I understand and accept that I am trans and a woman by identity at my core. I didn't back then.
And now I love me just as I am.
Hugs,
Charlene
