Over Five Years Transitioning

[yaykat89]

Hello Everyone,

I've lurked through this forum for over 12 years now from time to time.

I'm Katherine, I'm 28 and I started transitioning when I was 22. I currently work in commercial real estate finance and I'm proud to say I've grown my career as woman, albeit a trans woman and I'm proud of what I've accomplished.

Prior to transitioning I was in the drag scene and had been out as gay since I was 14, though I oddly never had sex as a boy. Regardless, drag was a huge gateway to giving me the confidence to transition.

When I was pretty early on in my journey I was an escort, and also had a relatively popular Youtube, and was part of a collaboration channel as well. I only escorted for a minute because it wasn't for me, and I'm not emotionally equipped to be a top tier escort. So I returned to mortgage and worked in there until this last summer where I made the change to commercial construction lending.

I had my GRS a few years ago and that solved a lot for me. I definitely feel much better in my body. I'm currently feeling great being single and enjoying my time, I've been in several relationships and they all taught me things of what I should seek in the man that is right for me.

Transitioning really saved my life tbh. I'm just this confident, strong being now. I'm very open about my identity and I love just being myself. I never had any doubts during my transition, yes, there were awful times, however I love who I am now, and those experiences made me one strong woman.

Here's a pic from this evening just feeling cute after work.

If you have any questions, I'm an open book. I wish the best for you all.
