Hello world! My transgender story pt.1: "Why are you trans?"
I am a middle-aged transgender woman who started HRT a few months ago.
After having the 'coming out' conversation with quite a few people, I've realised that after decades of fear and shame I absolutely love sharing my story with others. So I've decided to record them just in case others might find them useful or insightful.
These videos are pretty low-effort, I recognise. I've not edited or done much in the way of research. These are just my words, my voice, and my story.
This videos and the others on my channel are an intention to be my contribution to the world - my scream into the void of the internet. I fully-expect this to be ignored amongst the infinite choice offered. I'm not doing this for fame or for likes, but to be able to say 'I existed; there I was'. But if you found this, watched it and maybe even learned something, I appreciate you spending soe time with me.

You are not selfish. I am glad you realised it in order to start transition. That guilt of blaming ourselves for choosing our own happiness is devastating. I can see you are a beautiful woman inside and out. Well done for sharing some of your story. ❤😊
I started transitioning with HRT over eighteen months ago at the age of sixty-eight. I know from the time I was about ten I was fascinated with being a girl. It turned into a desire to be a woman as I went through puberty. I continued to imagine what it would be like to be a woman and wear women's clothes, but was too transphobic to do anything about it.
I think you are describing more about what it means to be trans. Why is anyone trans? Is it their brain, their social experience, their genes etc., etc, etc.? How did they get that way? There has been plenty of research that tries to answer that question
I think society forces on us a very narrow interpretation and experience of male - female presentation, which can cause a lot of grief and confusion.
