My First Year Celebration! With Pictures of My First Year Transformation

I AM ONE YEARS OLD TODAY!

One year ago, December 19th, I started my journey legally and hormonally as male. This was after living un-authentically for the first 46 years of my life. The ‘Happy Birthday’ picture above, was the one my husband picked out for invitations for my FIRST YEAR BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. To be seen as his husband now, is a beautiful and genuine thing!

As one can imagine, every facet of my being, and relationship change socially, culturally, physically, interpersonally, spiritually and legally. To find doctors who would help me, was one of the biggest challenges. Due to stigma, there are simply few who will help people like me, but I did it!

In the last year, I have emerged from my wheelchair, significantly disabled. I no longer have dark circles under my eyes, and am now walk everywhere, floor exercises, weight lift, and bike weekly. With the Ketogenic/Paleo Diet, and added testosterone, I lost over 30 pounds of weight this last year and gained muscle mass. Since the birth of our daughter, in 2004, I have lost over 80 pounds.

All this has helped my mitochondrial function, metabolic disease, muscles, fatigue, and ended much of the adrenal and autonomic dysfunction I was having. I no longer have to take many of the drugs or hormones doctors wanted me to. I now feel healthier than when I was twenty!

My masculinity is finally welcomed!

I am no longer enslaved to the expectations society forced onto me. I get to grow out my facial hair, body hair, and not have to do all those things to conform to appearing female, when being female was never me to begin with. This last year, my husband and I have fallen in love much deeper than anyone imagined. Plus, of course our children are happier too! Because I am ALIVE NOW, and no longer so sick, and able to be proud of myself.
