There comes a point when you take a look at your life and decide that the way things are just not working, whether it is your relationship, your job or as in my case, how I was expressing my gender identity. For many years I had realised that the gender I was living and functioning as didn’t match how if felt inside and who I was. I can't rationalise that, I can't explain it in any logical way, it was just how I was feeling. Something that has grown inside me for as long as I can remember back into my early years.
One thing I have noticed since I have been going out and about in the real world is the amount of looks and gazes I get. At first I was concerned I was being 'clocked' or 'outed' but more and more I started to realise that this is the kind of attention Genetic Woman have had to put up with all of their lives.
