I had no shame from being trans..

What I did have is buckets and buckets of shame from some of the things I did to survive earlier in my life.. I was a top end Rent Boy.. I was a drug dealer.. I was a meth addict.. I was a coke addict.. And that's just the tip of the iceberg...

For me, therapy has been the key to dealing with the shame of my past.

PS: I will admit I miss the money from my Rent Boy days..
no shame needed kelly. you did what you had to in order to survive

The shame I felt came from society's view of "normalcy".

The way I beat it was finding out that society is so overrated anyway.
