Here, you can read my story here: https://nataliegracedrew.wixsite.com/findingnatalie/post/this-is-my-story-pt-1
From the story, I take it the transition was a combination of hormone therapy and a recognition from some of your family and friends that you are a woman.
Well there is hormone therapy. There's also legal changes. I've had one surgery. Whether or not family recognize the reality that I'm a woman, though, is immaterial. Family could have still completely rejected me, and it wouldn't have negated the transition. In fact, both my wife and I have had family completely cut us from their lives. Their recognition isn't needed. I've socially transitioned, go to work as myself.
But in all, I just live my life like any person. I just now get to do it without crushing depression. Oh, and I am going to be in an upcoming book, so that's cool.
