Letter to Family

I am writing this letter to inform you of some changes that are happening in my life. From as far back as I can remember I felt like I was stuck in the wrong body. I have always felt female on the inside. You may remember when I was very young, that I was a cry baby, and some might even say a sissy. Well I grew out of that, in recent years I wouldn't even hug family. Because I was insecure with myself. You may already have guessed where I am going with this letter. I see my self as transgender, and have been diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder. You see not only is Gender Identity Disorder devastating to the individuals sense of well being but it is the shame one feels that is the hardest part to endure. It is the shame that society puts on the individual that they feel does not conform to the so called "norms". The ironic part of this is that the professionals feel that this disorder is biological in nature. I no control over these feelings. Of course, it is not a choice regardless of what the causes are. To that end, I have been seeing a combination of therapists and psychologists for more then two and a half years. What all that means is, that I have started taking female hormones, under the supervision of an Endocrinologist. I have also started laser hair removal, and electrolysis on my face, and plan to start living full time as a woman in May. There are many surgical options on the table, but not for a few years down the road, with the approval form my psychologist. You no doubt have many questions running through you head. Please feel free to call me anytime , with any questions you may have.

Your niece formally know as Daniel,
Sarah Spalding
