I said yes, and I think my desire to share her image both in person and through pictures “validates” my answer! Sometimes Haley’s presence is so strong, she appears many times daily through my expressions, my outward feelings…yet few get to actually meet her. She screams inside of me for acknowledgment, for recognition as a “real” person that exists…and many times sharing her through pics does bring a certain validation that others believe Haley is real and evidenced by the smile on her face, and that she is beautiful, and that she deserves to be recognized as a part of me. I know who I am, yet for some reason I think validation from others that I appear fem, and that they see my mom in me and not my father, and that they find me sexy and desirable, is important to me.
