Womanhood: The Journey of a Transgender Woman

 Identity: The Personal Journey of a Transgender Woman

First, I need to ask, what is Identity?

Identity, to me, is made up several different ways. First, you have the identity of your birth. This is the AGAB (Assigned Gender At Birth). This is usually done correctly. It is only later in life, in their adolescent years, that people start to question their AGBA; for me, it was around the age of 7. I started to question my identity strongly around the age of 11. I can remember praying to the heaven above, asking them to change me into the girl I knew I was. I did this for three nights. I decided, "ok, if you want me to be a "boy" then I will give it my best."
