A LADY'S SECRET...
What secret can a lady have? You may not want to know! This piece is not for the faint
of heart. If you are close minded or ignorant, please read no further. If you are an open minded, enlightened being, please
read on.
I was born in may of 1976, to a young couple in a small town i shall not mention. I led a fairly happy, storybook
kind of life until about 8 years old. It was at this point when i discovered something about myself that I didn't understand.
I lived with this for a long time. I tried to consult my parents, but they insisted there was 'something wrong' with me.
I felt like i was a shame to them. I kept this 'dirty little family secret' until i was 21. The 'secret' cost me more than
one relationship, and I was in a state I now know as 'dysphoria'- a severe state of unrest, and a general feeling of
unhappiness. It was then that a very close friend convinced me to do something about it. So a year later I moved to Salt
Lake City, Utah to do just that. I was about to change the course of my life forever. On febuary 12th, 2001, I died and
was reborn... Not in a hospital, or church, but in a courthouse! You see, I am a Transgendered Individual. I was born
a female within a males body. A condition known as Gender Identity Dysphoria. Life has not been easy, nor do I expect
it to be, but with good friends, I'll make it through. Questions? comments? drop me a line, I don't bite... unless
you ask!
