Hey there! My name's Maya and I'm a trans girl from the Midwest. Born into a conservative Christian family with traditional values that didn't exactly mesh with my identity. It took me a long time to come out, but when I finally did, it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My parents were pretty supportive once they understood what I meant by 'being trans', even if they struggled at first.

Growing up was tough for me, though - everyone would make fun of my body shape and size. They'd call me names like "stick" or "twig", which really cut deep. But as I got older, I started to realize that those things didn't matter anymore; it's not about how you look on the outside, it's what's inside that counts.

Nowadays, I'm focusing more on being confident and proud of who I am. I've even started to embrace my unique features - like my small breasts or my short stature - instead of trying to hide them like before. It feels liberating! When I'm alone in bed with my hands spread wide across my thighs, it's like I can finally breathe without the weight of expectations bearing down on me.

Do you have any experience with being an outsider? How did you cope? |
