I am...
March 10, 2010 | New York City, New York | Vetting explained
Posted by:Me. Lots of people assume that being trans is being a choice. They also seem to treat me as an object rather than a person. For the longest time, when looking in a mirror, I didn't recognize the person staring back at me. As I've been going through my transition, I've begun to see the person I am as I've always seen in my mind's eye.
Do you see me now?
