My Journey

[Guest Kryxia]

Where to begin is hard to put in words for at an early age of being in middle school I always had the feeling that I did not belong in any of the more popular groups in schools for I did have friends but I wound up moving from groups to groups almost daily even with friends in other groups. Was not until I was in college and became a "Lone Wolf" type of personality since I never belonged to any of the cliques and such I happen to run into someone online which became my friend that I opened up to about how I felt. Well he was a saint to me for he happen to let me know that he had encountered another person who had the same feelings like I did and got me in contact with said person which I quickly befriended. So this mutual friend linked me a few sites that, in her mind, were good for people who felt like I did for I did not even know of the term Transgender at that point.

A few months into the future I finally decided to come out to my parents and might I say that I was terrified for I was still at home with my parents and such and wanted to let them know what was going on in my life other than working and then coming home for I did not like going out much at that point for it felt that I was living a lie. Luckily my parents accepted me and I ended up going to a therapist at that point which also helped out my parents through this which I will never forget. Unfortunately I found out that my therapist ended up commiting suicide and had to find another therapist after 2 years with said therapist but I was already on hrt within 3 months of seeing her. Now for the last 2-3 years been going to a new therapist along with getting with a doctor that deals with hrt therapy along with being my primary care physician. I also have now finished with my real life test and currently working on the money portion needed for the surgery along with my name change.

During my real life tests I think I have been extremely lucky and grateful that for who I work with are willing to work with me during this transition which I am entirely thankful for. Given that during this time I am not really going out much due to me trying something which I hope that upon me finishing what I am doing might be able to help out others.

Kryxia I am glad you shared your story with us. I am also happy for you that your parents were ok with the whole deal.

My therapist asked how my social life was and when I told her that I was always a loner and did things by myself, she said that was one of the characteristics of a trans person. I did not know that but it makes since. We are always in hiding and keeping things to ourselves.

I hope to see more of your posts.

Love,

Sarah F
