. . . a year of transition to joy
After a year of hormone replacement therapy, she finally reached the genesis of her life. It was time for the world to meet the authentic Deanna. She anticipated being greeted by hostility and hate, assuming the rest of her life would be spent shielding herself from an unwelcoming world.
She found something quite different.
Most people that she encountered that first year didn't approach her with contempt but with genuine curiosity and questions. What does being trans even mean? What does it feel like? Are there men interested in trans women?
Deanna began sharing some of her journal entries to help promote understanding. She received incredible reactions from trans-gender, non-binary, and cis-gender friends who found her heartfelt stories, hilarious anecdotes, and dash of trans related education enlightening.
Her journal entries from this year of revelation are what you will find in these pages. Though written by a trans person, these stories will be of benefit to anyone seeking to reframe, find perspective, stay steady in their resolve, and strike a positive balance in their life.
Through lived examples of fear, privilege, sexism, difficult insights, and awareness, Deanna journeys through a year of acceptance, love and, above all, joy.
