“[A]s a person who was assigned female at birth, everything that society would expect of me as a “woman” feels unnatural… The definitions I have experienced around the word transgender often fall in line with my identity, however when I identified as transgender I felt pressure towards becoming the “opposite” gender — that is to say, I felt a pressure to be a man and to adopt masculine behaviors that felt as equally uncomfortable as feminine ones. I also unfortunately felt a pressure to alter my body, and it was ultimately my accepting my body which led me to find happiness in the middle.”
