hello, I’m Eva

[Eva Young]

Hello everyone, I’m 56 years old and spent the majority of my life suppressing my true self.  I worked to establish myself as a strong alpha male, and pretty much succeeded.  I have a great job, a nice home, I’ve made a retirement plan for myself that doesn’t involve eating cat food with a side of those bag noodles we all ate in college.  The problem is all of that didn’t make me happy.  I have been smiling through my own pain for decades and only in the last year did I take any positive steps toward my own happiness.

I finally faced what I think I always knew and for the first time I said (out loud) I am not the man I said I was – I’m a woman and I always have been.  I thought it but actually hearing myself say it out loud, in front of another human was like rolling a large boulder off my back.

My job is in an extremely male dominated field and transitioning at this time would destroy everything I have built, but I know who I am and even though I am not starting hormones until I retire, I am making changes in my life to begin my transition – and that has finally started to fill the huge hole in me.

I’m looking forward to meeting everyone, hearing your stories and I’m sure I’ll be asking a lot of questions.
