My name is Danielle Percy. I am 23 years old and for 11 of those years i have been a man. I was born female and transistioned to male at an early age and with the help of PCOS(poly cystic ovarian syndrome) i was able to successfully transition to the roll i wanted to play in life. I have not yet taken hormones to fully become the man i want to be in life. So far i have held off the rest of my transition(breast tissue removal, name change, and gender marker changed) due to wanting to get into the Army. However some complications arose with that and i find my self unable to want to continue with trying to join. However as ive told myself and several others i will try at least one more time while living down here in Florida. With this post i will lose a lot of "friends" and will hopefully gain friends that know who i am. Years ago i was unable to come out to even my girlfriend, but a trip down here to Florida changed all of that and she became my best friend. Last year i experienced a different type of relationship that opened my mind in different ways which had landed me to a point in my life that i wanted to kill myself. I didnt want to face demons that i needed to face and i am once again running from them. This is not a post for attention but merely a post to come clean about who i am and why i have lied about who i am. I lied because i was afraid of being rejected and cast out just like the rest of the people i have known that came out of the closet. I want you to really look at those who are like me and dont look at us just because of our gender but because of the laughs we share together, the bull->-bleeped-<- charges, the almost becoming homeless, and thise who before this post i called my brothers and sisters. I stand here with those who truly know about me and have accepted me for who i am and ask that you do the same. After today i will no longer go by Danny, but by a name that would have been given to me had i been born a male. From this day forth i am Scott Anthony Jackson-Percy. Thank you. That is all.
The response that i had gotten was over whelming, i had found that a lot of my friends had already knew that i was trans, but it didnt stop them from me losing there friendship. i found that in fact alot of them accepted me without me even knowing in the past that they had. Being who i am and coming out and getting that response was amazing.
