As I'm writing this, I can feel the weight of my experiences bearing down on me. My name is Kaito, and I'm a 35-year-old trans man from Mongolia who has been living in the United States for several years now. Growing up in Ulaanbaatar, I always felt like an outsider, struggling to find my place within the traditional Mongolian culture that surrounded me.
But it wasn't until I was older that I began to understand myself better. I had always known that I didn't quite fit into the norms of masculinity, and as I got older, those feelings only intensified. It wasn't until I started questioning my own gender identity that I realized I wasn't a woman - I was a man trapped in a body that didn't feel like mine.
It's been a long journey, but one that has ultimately led me to where I am today: a place of self-acceptance and self-love. And though there are still days when the doubts creep in, I know that I'm not alone - there are others out there who understand what it means to be trans, and who can offer support and guidance along this often difficult path.
