My life is hers...

The one thing that I can say I have had absolutely no control over is my gender. I was born a male. Physically I am a prime cut, home-bred, grade A, 100% American boy. For all intents and purposes I am living what many would consider the American dream. I have risen from the depths of a supremely dysfunctional (if not loving family), near poverty, and a basic high school education to serve my entire adult life in the United States Military. I am a loved father, husband, brother, and son. I am completing my college education, and I am an accomplished and much sought after professional in my field. Of course, all of that is surface. It's window dressing.
None of that changes the fact that for the greatest part of my adult life...since I was old enough to understand the desire for what it was, I have tried to deny that fact that deep down inside my soul I want to be a woman.
