Between Two Gardens

This is the story of my gender transition.
Looking back, I understand the the disrespect I experienced from ohters and my own lack of confidence in myself fuelled my gender dysphoria. The process of change in itself proved powerful. I turned fear into determination, and my transition changed more than my physicality. While I was looking for love and acceptance from others which I didn’t always get, I did at last find love and acceptance from myself.
Who knows what the future will bring? For now, I made my body beautiful in my own light and know that I will keep growing as a person. I have found a solution which keeps me within my family, culture and religion. Above all, I have remained true to myself.
