I spent most of my life knowing that I was not quite aligned in body and mind. From an early age I used to dream and wish that little boys evolved into adulthood as women, and the little girls grew up to be men. It was a recurring thought that was with me in my early teenage years. As time progressed then these feelings and thoughts developed and became more real.
One of the questions I am asked all of the time is; "what is trans".Well... that is a big conversation, but the long and short of it is that "Trans" means is from the Latin and means "on the other side of" whilst "cis" means "on the same side of". So both cis and trans are an antonyms paring. A non-trans person is cis.
