out of surgery and being in the. elevator. is that. and they assured me that it was because. i was very relieved. i was losing a lot of the law through the surgical fight. which because you can see when people identify you as being transgender. this isn't why. nothing has really changed i'm still struggling i was better off as i was before the surgery before the hormone treatment so it was a bad point five years after the surgery they are about i started to have about changing back that's my student id. and so now it's women that

i have a really big adam's apple heavy brown. pretty big. is the idea after i had third. and then when i was transitioning back to mail in louisiana that's the driver's license i had a lot of other pictures from that period but one day. when i was in my office looking at the pictures of me back during this period seventy eight years as being female it was so discouraging that i wasted so much my life in this particular period doing all of this. just in the state that i was in and i raised all of the pictures that i had with the computer and destroyed the pictures. from that period to try to were right. with god's help i

went through the change back to being mayor. so i went through. so much pain and so much discomfort to grab it. more than me for. a guy in then when he turned. to share me with. to me it was growth but it was. in the paperwork to me. when i had the surgery done initially he gave me the paperwork ok. i'm sixty years old there's no reason for me after a lifetime of being in transition to go and start living dressing as a man

for her trying to meet up with somebody i shared with her my past and what had happened and how i was. and at that time she said ok let's be friends we had shared the same interest cycle but i was saying we both like doing stuff especially . but. now i can't i know he will say he remembers one time we were high and we sat down. and i sat close to him when i had on the shoulder and it was a point. with changing. that it was ok for me to start. in a romantic wife and i did. eggs or. be intimate seem to. tween rachel and me. with me being surgically altered i.
