In this video we move onto the second section of YOU AND YOUR GENDER IDENTITY: A GUIDE TO DISCOVERY, Stage One: Preparation.
When beginning on a journey as complex and intense as discovering one's gender identity, it's important to feel as prepared as possible to do so!
Here we begin Chapter One: "Why Do I Need to Find Out the Truth?" You'll learn why it is important to be really clear with yourself as to why you are needing to go on this self-discovery journey. You'll need to turn to this truth for motivation as things grow challenging along the way!

I had a story about my life. How I lived and how I came to find out all the lies I was told to get me to conform to someone else's ideology of life. Mostly to fix their ego.
So I started to look for other's like me.
The more I was able to go to meetings. I realized that these people are the same . They want to force their ideology of what it means to be a transgender person and you have to accept their version as fact.
My second life birthday is March 1, 2013. This is the day (my first shoot) I started to live my life for who I am. I found peace and happiness, I was on cloud 9, for 3 years. Then I came out. All I can say is I have no one in my life. This is not a bad thing. I only want people in my life where we don't focus on a person but the life of all.
I am still glad to be able to look at myself in a mirror and feel happy about my body. My body and mind are at peace, things feel like this was supposed to be.
I've learned to navigate this world alone. Companies still fire you for coming out. I called lawyers and was told I have no rights, BUT...if I was a cisgender woman or another race I would have a law suit.
I was once an extrovert but now I'm an introvert.
I feel great that I stopped living my life for others. I just wished people would take the time to understand and be able to accept people who do not fit into the so call social norm. Why is living my life free and happy so wrong? Why am I degraded and feel like I wear a Scarlet letter?
Sometimes we ask questions that have no answer.
The biggest thing I've noticed from the public is I'm now a fetish for opposite sex (I don't use the word straight. Straight is a direction not an identity) men. I did not accept myself based on sex. In fact sex wasn't even in the thought. In fact by accepting myself and getting rid of the testosterone is what makes me happy. When you can't afford the meds. Things tend to go back. And I can say I do not like the person with testosterone.
This is why I feel I need SRS. I need my body to stop producing so much testosterone. Surgery will help with this process.
I found out that one can have non gender surgery. Which one does not have a vaginal canal. This helps those who are asexual, non binary, and ect...
I hate that men think because I'm a woman I'm not smart enough to do my job on my own.
Where would be the ultimate place for my life? Either under the water or in the backwoods. Animals do not discriminate.
I also identify as a lesbian transgender woman. This is a major issue with the lesbian community. I'm told I can't be a lesbian because I wasn't born a woman. I had one argument with one person about that one day. Now, I just stay to myself.
I've also been told by other lesbians that I'm actually a gay male.
It doesn't matter what you do with your life someone or some group will try to make you feel lesser of a person. This doesn't define you, it defines them. When you learn to be happy with your choices in life. No one can knock you down.
I have as much right to allow people in to my life and vise verse as anyone.
You don't know me, you don't know my life, and you mostly don't have no right to judge me.
I'm going to buy the book tonight.Listening along to some of these questions and visualizing myself kind of raises a few more questions that I don't have answers for and some things that I haven't yet thought of.
Waiting for Amazon to have their book again so I can buy it and In the midtime listening to their book is really helpfull. ❤️
