Hello, my name is..in this profile so let's move it along. As you can guess from the title of the blog, I am a transsexual although I'm not exactly a "teen" anymore but it was better than naming it "Confessions of a Young Adult Who Happens to be Transsexual". "What is a transsexual?", you say? Well, it's a person who's gender doesn't match their sex and usually undergo surgery to correct it. Gender is "between the ears" and sex is "between the legs". I, for example, was born in a female body but identify as male. Get it? If not, Google it(smile).
The reasons for creating this blog and sharing such personal things is because (a)I want to reach out to others in my situation and maybe help them feel like they're not alone or crazy (b)I also feel the need to express myself, and (c)I enjoy shocking people in order to open their eyes(and trust me, I fully intend to do so through this blog so help me God...and hopefully GaGa). Being transsexual is about as easy as running a mile with Chewbacca chained to your back. Yes, I said Chewbacca. Maybe I exaggerated a bit there. Judge for yourself: imagine feeling exactly the way you feel right now, being attracted to men/women except you being born in the opposite sex's body. It sucks, right? That's what I, and thousands of others around the world, experience EVERY single day. You can't turn it off like a TV and you can't ignore it like Paris Hilton ignores underpants. It's serious enough to conflict with daily activities such as: going to the supermarket, going out in public for any reason, making friends, finding jobs, etc. Even the name experts gave it sounds horrible: GENDER DYSPHORIA.I don't know about you but anything with the word DYSPHORIA makes me wanna hide in the closet(no pun intended).
Since this is my first post, I just wanted to give a short, simple introduction into being trans. For my next posts I will share more personal things and experiences as I continue my journey into the not-so-unknown.
Stay frosty.
your blog is truly inspiring. I am a bisexual girl, and although I do not face the same challenges you were born with, I understand what you are going through. You are a truly inspiring human being. Pursue your dreams of becoming a comedian, frankly this blog has me laughing out loud. You are also a talented writer, so believe in yourself and own it. Never let anybody tell you that you're not good enough because you are beautiful and you were BORN THIS WAY.
