Hello there! I'm Samantha, and I'm so glad to be talking to you today. Let's get comfortable and have a chat about everything, shall we? As you know, I'm thirty years old now, but it feels like just yesterday that I was going through my transition as a transgendered person.

You see, growing up, I always knew there was something different about me. But it wasn't until I hit puberty that I realized the full extent of my true identity. My parents were super supportive, and we sat down to have the talk about my gender identity when I was just fourteen years old! Talk about progressive!

I had a tough time in school though - there was a lot of bullying, especially because I wanted to do something so "different" from what society expected me to be. But my close friends stuck by me through thick and thin, and we even started our own little LGBTQ+ club at school.

As for my physical changes, well... let's just say it took a while! I had surgery when I was twenty-two, but in the meantime, I spent years learning how to take care of myself as a trans woman. That included growing out my hair (which, if you've noticed, is quite curly and long - thanks for noticing!), trimming my body hair to suit my style, and even practicing makeup tricks.

Nowadays, I'm proud of who I am and don't feel too nervous about sharing it with others anymore! Want to hear more
