Testimonial
A lot of people have it in their head that we wake up and decide to be trans. I want people to know that it’s not a choice. Nothing has happened in my life to make me trans. I was born trans.
I’ve always been extremely masculine, I always felt that way. I can’t say that I ever felt like a boy, I just had to live as a girl for the first 16 years of my life. I thank Ohio Transunity community greatly.
Being trans seemed a complete oxymoron. I thought, it can’t be, I have to decide between them. But I had this wonderful community here to give me all that space and time to come out.
