Hello there, wonderful world of bloggers, as you may have already guessed from the big bold letters above this, my name is Stephanie. I've started up this blog in an attempt to share my experiences as I go through this crazy thing called life, being someone who is transgender presents a lot of unique challenges and experiences that I feel I need to at least write down somewhere, and better yet, share with people.This blog will pretty much range from any experiences I have related to being transgender, to just anything on my mind! (Which will probably involve a lot of Victoria Secret online catalogue entries, so I apologize in advance for that!) So, without further hesitation allow me to introduce myself!
Like I said, my name is Stephanie, and I'm transgender. I'm freshly 18, I turned so in September, and I live in small conservative town in Alberta, Canada. For the better part of my life I've always been very quiet and kept to myself as much as I could. Needless to say, school was one of the worse experiences of my life, I always felt very out of place and I had a very hard time making friends. This is probably why coming out as transgender is such a frightening task for me, and consequently only two people I actually know in real life know about it. One is my mother, which is another story for another day, and one is a boy who I barely know, and I ended up telling my real name over at myyearbook.com. Otherwise I'm pretty open about it online, and I've made some absolutely amazing friendships because of it, one with a girl who I know will always be there to support me and I doubt any progress I've made to this point would be possible without her help.
I promise entries after this one will be more humorous and hopefully more exciting, but the introduction always needs to get out the way first! I look forward to all comments and critiques!
