When asked to think of the future, I get scared. Not because of what I see, but rather who I see. I see a man and a woman happily married. But I am not the woman. I am the man, smiling at his wife and it scares me because that's not how I should see myself.
But now I know that it doesn't matter. Because that is who I am. I am that man. And it doesn't matter what you think because I know me best of all. No one cam tell me who I am but me.
My name is Emmett W_____. I am a fifteen year old male. I dream of one day being a psychiatric nurse and getting married. I want to be a good husband one day.
When playing with friends, my whole life I've always played the male characters in things much more often than playing the female. It always just felt right. And I now understand it.
I spend every day hating myself and wishing I could die and be reborn in the right body. No one should have to feel this way. Ever.
So I ask you to please understand. I'm still me. I'm just the real me.
