My name is Freya Edwena Weston and I am a 59 year old M2F transsexual. When I was 5 years old I knew something was different about me, I didn't like the usual boy things like other boys. My grandmother was making a dress for my mother and I stayed after her, bugging her to make me a dress too, until she gave in and made one for me, I wore that dress until it was nothing but rags. By the time I was 8-9 years old I remember watching an episode of Doctor Kildare on tv, he was trying to help a 16 year old girl that was pregnant out of wed-lock, back in the day that was unheard of, and I knew how girls got "PG" as the adults called it around us kids, but I wanted to be "PG", so for months I walked around pretending I was "PG". As time went on I tried to live as normal life as I could, trying to be a man. Joined the Navy, but ended us telling them I wanted to be a woman so they gave me an honorable discharge and sent me home. Got married, thinking that would make a man of me, 20 years later and 3 daughters, I was still the same person I was at 5 years old, wanting to be a woman. Marriage ended in divorce. Two years ago I could not take it any more, so I ordered some horomones from Inhouse and on April 1 2009 I told my friends and family that I was going to live the rest of my life as a woman even if I never could have surgery. 2 years later I have advocated for the Vetrans Association to change their care concerning transgendered vetrans and have made some head way. The VA now takes care of my Psych, my blood and lab work and give me horomones through a VA endocrinologist. Everything I had thought was a pipe dream has done a turn around and become a dream come true, I just love it when a plan comes together, ain't life sweet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
