'Cause it's the right thing to do

[I Am Paula]

I was reading a Facebook post about authenticity, and spent a retrospective moment.
I was pretty sure I was gay from a young age, but I hid it- Because it was the right thing to do.
I really wanted to wear women's clothes, but had never heard of such a thing, so I hid it- Because it was the right thing to do.
I dreamed of being a woman, but kept my mouth shut- Because it was the right thing to do.
When the urge was too strong to suppress, I presented female, but only in the gay village- Because it was the right thing to do.
I lived in a powerful matriarchy, and to please my mother, I married women...3 of them!- Because it was the right thing to do.
I presented male day to day, for many years, knowing it was a lie- Because it was the right thing to do.
I suffered in silence- Because it was the right thing to do.

53 years after being diagnosed male at birth, I realized almost everything I believed in was false, and I transitioned-
Because it was the right thing to do.

Reading things like these make me feel better after the weekend I had because it shows to prove that I'm not alone in this.

It is sad the lack of social education and acceptance had this impact on us. I look at our youth and how they are being themselves at a young age and see we are on the right path. The right thing to do is starting to become right.

I am glad you finally did the right thing to do.
We spend our whole lives doing what other people expect to be the right thing.
all the time never really doing what is right for ourselves.

Time to me ones self happy for a change. :thumbsup:
