My TransFemme Experience
A log of personal experiences by Samantha W.
Hello, You may have found this page on accident or because you were looking for either Transgender (MTF) people stories or just Transformation stories. Either way it is unlikely you specifically meant to be here.
Should you be interested in that type of content, there are many great content creators available online. I, however, am not one of them. I am only a novice, but you may proceed if you wish.
Think of this as an autobiography or a publicly shared journal. Either way, it is meant to be a one-way medium and not a public forum clouded with many opinions or comments. There are other sites for that.
What this is, is a recording of my life up to, and including, my transition as I discovered that I was a Transgender Woman instead of a Cisgender Man.
Hi, I'm Samantha, a Transgender Woman.
Though, I did not realize that I was Transgender until after my 30th Birthday.
In 2020 A terrible thing spread across the US (as well as the rest of the world). Because of this, the world got a bid weirder. I worked in an "essential" fast-food job during the event that shall not be named. During that time, I was also at the height of a super negative state in my life. I hated everyone including, and especially, myself. Little did I know, that part of the reason, was that I was an uncracked egg. It took me a year to unpack but, by the end, I knew who I'm meant to be.
