Richelle's Story
Life
Maybe you better be sitting for this one..... I guess you noticed I changed my name. I bet every class wonders if any of their classmates are not who they use to be. Well I have changed a little since I lived in Freedom. Yes I have gone through a gender change. Completing my transition with surgery in Montreal,Canada on May 22, 2001 For your information I did not just wake up one day and say this might be a cool thing to do. I knew I was different every since I can remember and I had to act out a different role for all those years. Well I tried to live life as society said I should. I was married for 27 years to a wonderful woman and have 3 great kids. But the deep depression and thoughts of suicide made me go to therapy and start dealing with...Expand for more
the person I really was. So in the summer of 1997 I decide to transition to female. I entered the Central Ohio Gender Dysphoria Program. Started hormone replacement therapy in 1998. I was divorced in Jan. of 2000 and started living an working as a female fulltime. By the way my ex and my kids are supportive of me....they were witness to the pain I was in. Well there it is in a nut shell. If you want to e-mail you can. But if you are going to do so to blast me for wanting to live then don't bother me. I have already been to hell and back. Most likely I will never see any of you again... I know you would feel uncomfortable with me at a reunion. So I will end with wishing all of you a long and happy life. God Bless all of you.
