The Observer: What sex were you at birth?

Yonina: At birth, I was male. At this time, I still am operating under
such appearances, as I only recently began the transition process, and
not many people are aware of my situation yet.

The Observer: At what age did you feel that you were in truth a member
of the opposite sex?

Yonina: My earliest memories have me realizing that I was really a
girl. I remember one point when I must have been either four or five
years old that I really felt that I was in the wrong body. From that
moment on, there were few times that the feelings did not constantly
invade my thoughts.
