Jadde Nakamura here! So, I've always been a bit of an enigma to those around me, and not just because of my... let's call them 'androgynous' features (laughs). But seriously, being a tgirl has its own set of challenges. People often struggle to categorize you, or they get caught up in their own assumptions.
Growing up, I was always drawn to the idea of being different from others. My parents were traditionalists - my mom is a devout Christian and my dad's from Japan - so it took them a while to come around to accepting me for who I am.
I remember when I first started to realize my attraction towards women, there was this sense of confusion in me. It felt like an existential crisis. Was I still a girl? Or did being attracted to girls make me less of one?
It wasn't until my late teens that I decided I needed to do something about it. So I went online and started exploring forums for tgirls. That's where I found my tribe - these incredible women who understood what I was going through.
But even then, it took me a while to truly embrace myself. There were days when I'd put on makeup just so that I could see myself in the mirror as this different person. It sounds silly now, but there was something therapeutic about transforming into Jadde Nakamura.
It's funny how life is like this grand experiment sometimes (laughs). You never know what you
