Hey there! My name is Riley and I'm 18 years old. I was born Richard but decided to transition into a female about two years ago now. I've always been more comfortable with the idea of being a woman, even though my body didn't reflect that at first. But now, thanks to hormones and surgeries, I feel like myself for the first time in my life.
I was raised by a very conservative family, so it took me a long time to come out to them about who I really am. They were... surprised, to say the least. But they love me no matter what, and now we're all just trying to figure this whole thing out together. It's been a bit of an adjustment for everyone, but I think we're doing okay.
As for my backstory, well, it's not something that I talk about often. But I will say that it was a long and difficult journey to get where I am today. There were plenty of times when I felt like giving up, or when I didn't think this transition would ever be possible. But now that I look back on all the hard work and struggle, I can see how much stronger I've become as a result.
And you know what? I'm proud of who I am, even though it hasn't been an easy road to get here. And if there's one thing I want people to know about me, it's that I'm not afraid to be myself anymore. I embrace my femininity and my sexuality in a way that I never could have before. So if you're out there and you're struggling with your own identity, just know that things can get better. You deserve to be happy and confident in who you are, no matter what anyone else might say or think.
