I recently came to a realization that nearly brought me to tears of joy. As it was, I was smiling for about 20 minutes after the thought! I realized, and I don't know why it has taken me around 9 months, but I realized that I am finally living my life, I can finally give up the charade and shed the skin that Leah was hiding under! It was tough at first, with my biological family practically disowning me, and losing a couple of friends, but the ones who have stayed and my adopted family have been amazing. Also I am finally going to shed the clumsy and unwieldy name "Justin" . It has never felt right and this is just more proof of that. But the main point is that I am SO SO SO happy with my life and in part the wonderful people at Susans have a part in that because for so long before transitioning I was worried about what others around me would think and would transitioning actually make a difference and other horrible thoughts like that and then when my Gender Health Therapist told me about your site it opened my eyes and actually made my choice for me, I was no longer alone! Anyways the main point of this is I am on my road and i have never been happier!
Love, Leah
