How My Kids Make Me Whole And Then SomeMeggan Sommerville, September 15, 2013 9:00 pm
The last several years have been some of the most enlightening years of my life. When I finally learned to take off the mask, I learned a lot about myself. I learned what makes me complete, what makes me whole.
I've learned that I have to be myself no matter the consequences. I have learned to speak up when I see issues that affect me. I have learned that I must have faith in the plan God has for me. I have learned to embrace the gifts God has given me.
Even though I struggled with Gender Dysphoria for nearly my entire life, in 1994 I got married - as a man. Two absolutely wonderful kids were the product from that sometimes extremely dysfunctional marriage. Though I want to regret that decision to marry all those years ago, I can't. The caveat is that if I regret that decision, then I regret those kids. And that is something I could never do. I could never regret those wonderful, goofy kids.
