I had felt uncomfortable as a woman my whole life.

It felt as if my body was, like, literally betraying me because I went from a very athletic, straight-up-and-down little kid to a very curvaceous woman, and it was just horrifying to me.

I felt like one of the boys. My friends were boys. In school I related to boys.

I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.

What mom cares about most is that I'm happy, healthy and enjoying my life.

When I realised I was transgender I was so afraid of what my transition would do to everyone else in my life and how they would react to it and would I be rejected?
