"Last week I was excited to celebrate my birthday. On the record it was number 68. Off the record, I like to think that 68 is the new 28, but perhaps I'm just fooling myself. Even though I transitioned at the age of 64 I don't believe anything I've done in my life was a mistake and I am in deep gratitude that I now have a second chance to live my life in a manner that is true to how I see myself. Before I transitioned, I seemingly traveled through my life in a cloud and the lens I viewed the world through was always out of focus. Perhaps that might be a definition of dysphoria for some. I know it was for me."
