Hi,I am Cassandra and I am 31 year old post op transsexual which I had my SRS in January.I always felt I was a girl since I was 3 or 4 years old.I had it rough,never fit in a lot in my childhood.Finally in 2007,I had it and my secret first came out to to my ex wife Brianna.She discovered pictures of me dressed as a woman and was not too happy about
it.My ex wife decided it was best to seperate for a month and tried to work things out.Working things out did not work and we ended up filing for divorce May of 2007.I did get help during the divorce seeing a gender specialist and was diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria.I startd hormone therapy after the divorce was final in August of 2007.I had to tell my family the news which it was after my father passed away from a fatal heart attack,it was easy and
hard.My mom cried in tears thinking it was her fault.I looked at her comforting her also and said it was not her fault.She knew I was in pain a lot even in my child
hood.My sister Nicole was easy,we are very close and told me that she was there for support right
away.It brought us together even more through my
transition.My brother James looked me in my face and called me a freak also a ->-bleeped-<-.We have not talked ever since,my mom and sister have talked him into working things out with me.He has decided not to just yet.I was lucky at work and it was after an anti discrimination policy was put in place including GLBT
people.My boss Elena took the news very well and worked with me great during my
transition.My co workers even took the
news.My boss and co workers say I am a much better person.Luckily the support from my ex wife,mom and sister came and they were behind
me.It got bigger too with support from my boss and co workers.I did lose friends over this and it mostly my longtime male friends.I did have the surgeries before the SRS,breast augmentation,Feminization surgery,my adam's apple shaved. I have a better life now and the news came out that I was approved for the SRS by the gender specialist I saw incuding a therapist in August of
2009.My SRS was on my 31st birthday and I say it was the best birthday gift I ever recieved,my new life as a woman.I am moving on with my life and realizing I take a little bit more to get ready in the morning.I also have a new boyfriend,Brad in my life and we started dating 3 weeks ago.Our relationship is going great so far,his first trans woman he dated and he loves it.
