At the ripe old age of 66, I'm tired of hiding. By the age of eight, I knew that I was a girl; but, my parents, with love and the best of intentions to protect me from being hurt emotionally and physically, pushed me into male pursuits - mainly, sports. I've tried to mirror who they wanted me to present to the world, but I just can't do it anymore. I've been approved for HRT, and if I want, GRS.
