The name is Kara. I'm a 28 y/o (yeah, I'm old) T*Girl. Married with 3 kids. I live in Kansas, and as you can imagine (what with it being home to Fred Phelps), it's not the most tolerant place to be, but it's home.
Okay, so here's my story. All my life I felt like something was "off," like I didn't fit in. It wasn't until I was 15 that I realized what it was. The only Transfolk I had ever seen at that point were Jerry Springer guests, and the thought of turning out like that was terrifying. Plus, since I was Christian, I was led to believe that what I was would condemn my soul. The social and moral conflicts tore me apart on the inside and I very nearly committed suicide. I sat on my bed in the dark one night with a knife to my wrist, but couldn't go through with it. I tried to deny it, tried to run from the truth, but eventually I learned to accept me for what I was. My faith was reaffirmed also, when I was given assurance that I was exactly the person that God wanted me to be (though no "normal" people that are blinded by their "truths" can accept this). However, to this day I remain closeted. I admit that I am afraid of society, so I hide the real me from the outside world, except for a handful of very close friends. I was most afraid of my wife, but when I told her the truth a few years ago, she was more supportive than I ever could have hoped for. Until about a year and a half ago, when she suddenly decided that it wasn't "right" and that she would no longer "enable" me. However, we are still together and she does occasionally slip and refer to the real me. Right now, that's enough for me.
I don't know where life will take me from this point on, but I can only take it a day at a time.
