The conquest of shame and transsexualism

[Tristan]

I had no shame from being trans..

What I did have is buckets and buckets of shame from some of the things I did to survive earlier in my life.. I was a top end Rent Boy.. I was a drug dealer.. I was a meth addict.. I was a coke addict.. And that's just the tip of the iceberg...

For me, therapy has been the key to dealing with the shame of my past.

PS: I will admit I miss the money from my Rent Boy days..

no shame needed kelly. you did what you had to in order to survive

no shame needed kelly. you did what you had to in order to survive

That's what I got out of therapy, amongst other things..

The shame I felt came from society's view of "normalcy".

The way I beat it was finding out that society is so overrated anyway.
