Two years ago yesterday I started my regimen of hormone treatments. Two years ago I truly believed that there was no way I would ever really be able to live in the world as a woman, but I could no longer live in the world as a man. I thought that with my build and features, it would be a tough road to be sure and that I would live with strange looks and an inability to work in my profession, an inability to keep my friends and family. And I was ready to sacrifice everything so that I could have a shot at a life that was absent the kind of pain that only those of us who suffer from it really understand.
