    The first year of my transition

    By aydin  |  Posted June 12, 2009  |  Portland, Oregon
     

          

    Hi, my name is Aydin and I am a 32 year old transsexual man. I transitioned because I was no longer willing to live in the shadow of my former body. I wanted to live my life with authenticity and integrity and I was unable to completely do that presenting as female. There is so much more to transition than the physical aspects, the mental/emotional/spiritual aspect of ones transition is huge. I have documented all of this on YouTube, please check it out. youtube.com/33aydin
