I don't want to lie to you anymore. To this day I’ve never watched a transgender-movie though almost everyone that learns my story tells me, “Oh, you should really watch the movie, The Danish Girl, as if I hadn’t already lived the pain.
All of the advice given to me by counselors, friends, support groups and tons of articles on the web, was about me...not about those I was in close relationship with.
I’d never heard the word “transgender” before so I started my Internet search with “cross-dressing.” That led me to an archaic site with a psychiatric manual. It scared the hell out of me.
