I Sacrifice myself every day. Maybe you do not know me well, and some might say he's just a transguy like us his problems like us but my friends it's bigger than that. I live  in an Arabic country does not recognize our rights and do not know something called Transgendre but in the law of the State to which I belong to the came out wearing the opposite sex clothes  is a crime punishable by law and may cost you years o your life in prison, but despite that i get out of the house everyday and i wear men clothes. my friends. you do not know the extent of fear and horror that I feel when I walk in the streets,  i try to avoid talking with people for fear of revealing the truth, and if someone looks at me at length i change my way my friens I live daily war and I could be arrested at any moment because I only wanted to be myself, but I continued to do this and get out of my home wearing men clothes and acting as a man cause i dont want to live a lie,i want die and not  live as female, while every part of me screaming I am a man I thought about immigration, but I can not my parent are old I do not want to leave them here cause i am the one take care about them .my friends keep thanking God for all that you have, because there are people in this life dont have a life just a normal life like any other person.
PEACE.

You're braver than you know. And it's honorable you stay there to take care of your parents. I hope you can make it out to the free world sometime.

Definitely a perspective change for all of us in America or the UK.  We can complain and get mad about so many tiny things, but you are right, despite all that, we still have it better off than other countries. and we should not take that for granted.

That's really rough man. I can't even begin to grasp what you must go through daily. Just know you have tons of support here at Susan's and you are so brave. I really hope one day you can get out of that country and be yourself without fear.
