Who am I?

[michelleinktown]

So on this journey I have had people ask me what do I feel I am, male or female? Hmmmm, I don't know what a woman feels like because I was raised a man even though it didn't feel right. I am turning into a beautiful woman and everyday I think I feel like a woman. But I guess I just feel like me. I have always been drawn to what the girls were doing and so wanted to be one of them. I have had a few people ask me the question what do you feel you are? I am Michelle and I feel very comfortable being her. I am an idividual who feels right dressed a certain way and acting a certain way, I am becoming me. I feel extreamly comfortable in the choice I have made to become a woman and for the first time in my life enjoy looking into the mirror and see what is looking back at me. Does this make any sense? I guess what I am trying to say is I don't know what it feels like to be a woman, but I do know what it feels like to be Michelle.

It is a wonderful thing to feel comfortable in one's own skin, no matter how other's may view it.
Very well put Dear.

Michelle,

With each passing day you will feel more and more like you.
I really don't think Cis gendered people of either gender know what it feels like to be a man or a woman but themselves.
As time progresses you will begin to forget that "other " person that you used to see staring back at you in the mirror.
When you reach this point you know you have achieved what you set out to do.

The truth has a certain beauty when you hear it and your words are beautiful.

For me you summed up the experience perfectly, you are becoming yourself by changing the outside to mirror the inside. You do not know what it feels like to be a woman because what it feels like is different from person to person but Michelle is you and that you know.

I think you are very fortunate because you will not try to become what you are not but will become what you already are and were meant to be. Others teach us about who we are but we cannot allow them to define us, that we must do for ourselves.
