Reply To: Easier to be “Normal”?

[Anonymous]

I see being transgender as a gift. It just took so long for me to accept myself. I was hiding it for most of my life. I am happier, calmer and nicer to be with as a woman.  I have very limited acceptance from those around me which does not seem right. Why do I have to hide my real self because others cannot accept the real me? It would be easier for everyone around me if I was not transgender. I am not sure how my future is going to play out, but Eva is not going back into the closet.
