It's interesting how life experiences have brought me to this point. Many places I've been, the people I've met, and the activities I've participated in have lead up to what my life is now. And it was done, unaware that I was transgender.
It was hidden from me and that was a good thing it was. I could only move forward. The doors of my past life were closing. My transition was subtle; nudges by an unseen hand gently pushing me forward. It was frustrating not knowing what I was contending with but I was compelled to keep going.
I have been out nearly twenty years now and it has been a strange yet wonderful journey. As a senior citizen I love sharing my story to younger generations and people who know little or nothing about transgender folks. Despite those forces who wish to silence me, I will keep going and live life.
