Changing yourself to be who you really are

“No matter what obstacles lay in wait for me or who or what was out to hurt me, I would always be a survivor.”
+ • + • + • +

A story about the personal journey when someone changes themselves so that they can live authentically & rightfully be who they truly are. Though the story lacks the level of depth, details, complexity & complications expected on this topic, the mere existence & of a ftm transgender representation + a hea book that also is enjoyable to read makes it a success worth reading.
