Hello everyone,
Originally, I was born as a male but I had always grown up asking myself why I was born with the parts that I have. I was raised in a small, conservative, Republican town in Texas and spent most of my life going to a Southern Baptist church. Around the age of 9-10, my curiosity grew stronger and I began to secretly cross dress. At the time, I had no idea what I was doing. For many years I thought I was just sexually perverted and needed to confess to God and repent from my sins.
I started college at Baylor University at 18 years old and finally questioned if I was the only person who felt the way that I did. After some Googling, I came across Julie Vu, a transgender female who is popular for her YouTube videos about her transition. I began asking myself if I wanted to transition or not but again, I felt that I was just being sinful so I didn't. Finally after years and years of keeping this all to myself, I told a close friend of mine who encouraged me to keep an open mind. I researched more and more if I was truly being sinful or not and came to the conclusion that I wasn't being sinful, and by not transitioning, I was hindering my relationship with God.
At 19, I finally told my parents and family about what was going on. I just recently saw a therapist for the first time a couple of weeks ago and now I'm looking into going full time female. Beginning this journey has opened my eyes more and more towards the LGBT community and has helped me finally find peace with myself and who I truly am. I look forward to getting to know everyone personally and hearing their stories in this community!
