I knew from early childhood I was supposed to be a girl. Now I am living as a girl. I am so very happy now. I dress, look and act like a girl because I am a girl. The best part is I am treated like a girl. Very happy now! emily

So what you're saying is: -

1. a female child, from birth to full growth
2. a young, immature woman

At 51, one would expect you to be a grown woman, not a child.

I will be honest with all of you here because I want you all to know my view of what it is like for me.
Please realize that I am living as a woman because I have the support of family, friends and I have long identified as a girl since I was 4 years old.
At 51 years old it is about time I start to live as Emily and present as Emily. I will tell you it is not easy. Some people you thought were loyal and good friends start to leave but the ones who matter stay and prove they are true friends. Work is always a concern. You need to find a workplace that accepts you and you need to always prove yourself even more so.
You have to be extra careful and never find yourself in a vulnerable situation. The following is what I recently wrote on my facebook page, my status if you will:

Here goes:

I am a very shy person and I have always struggled with my inner feelings of gender identity but I have come to realize that I only get one chance at life and that I am a kind, caring, loving and honorable person. I would never hurt anyone, especially my family and I would be the first to try with all my heart and soul to help them or a friend or anyone in need. I am not perfect but I know in my heart I am a good person and I want to live to find my inner happiness and to continue to love and support my family. I may be very shy but I have the courage to be Emily and that is no easy feat. In fact I would not believe you if you told me this a year ago that I would transition. I do not know many in my situation but I know I am not alone though I feel so much alone. I have wonderful family and good friends who care and I am very much appreciative of that. I will be honest to say that it is not easy finding my inner peace and happiness because I feel i am in a unique situation that only another transgender person could understand. I am not crazy nor selfish. I am just like you who wishes to be myself and smile and take care of my family. I am not someone who deserves to be knocked down and made fun of because I am different. Sadly there are those out there who would rather see someone like me dead and that I will never understand because I am not a violent person. In fact I am a very sensitive, emotional and caring person and I only wish good things for all. I hope one day we all can come together to accept all and bridge the gap that separates us. I also wish there was no suffering or hurt in the world. Life for so many is suffering and this makes me very sad and upset because as much as I wish to help I am also suffering with my own worries and financial concerns. Last I checked it cost $200,000 to send your kid to a prestigious university. We live today with so many stresses and difficulties it's a wonder how we can go on. I sometimes succumb to depression but I am a fighter. I have to be, otherwise I would die and last I checked I am still here breathing. I just need to do something about my insomnia and continue to love and support my family and work hard as I always have. Life is short and filled with uncertainty so we must always find inner strength and love who we are so we can love others. Emily
