Amy's Story
Hi Y'all
My Name is now Amy Hepker, that other person no longer exists.
I always felt out of place at school, I had what they call it now ADD, no one knew what it was and I was held back in First Grade because of it. Plus, I was born a female in a male body, but could never say anything back then. Gee, I may lose friends by being who I am, but I really do not have any friends from school. I would have Graduated but I would not have had enough Credits as I never went to PE in high school. I hated always being around all the boys especially in the locker room. I always wanted to hang around the girls, but couldn't let anyone know I really wanted to be one of them. But I am also Lesbian, I am ONLY interested in being with females. It was Very Hard, I had a lot of crushes in school on girls, but really did not know how to approach the girls and I sure did not want to let the boys know I was female inside.
I grew up with 3 older sisters, so being an only boy in the family except for my Father, who Died right after I turned 18. If he had known he probably would have kicked the crap out of me or sent me to a nut house. I never knew if any of the girls at school had a crush on me, but I did hear years later that there was at least one girl that did, I sure wish she would have told me. It makes me wonder how many girls in school might have had an idea that I was Transgender back then, although that word was not known back then just other bad words to describe a person like me.
I struggled being male most of my life always showing up so-called men at work, if they only knew I was really female inside. Ha, Ha, I have been living as myself as Amy for 6 years now, and I live in St. Petersburg, Florida. I love the weather here and so wish I would have moved down years ago. No, Snow!!! No, Below Freezing temps except for a few hours a couple times a year.
I bought my 1966 Mustang in 1974, I had it for 33 years. I sold it not wanting to, to move to Florida in 2007. That car was a huge part of my life as was POT, I smoked POT for 22 years quitting in 1996 to get a truck Driving Job. The POT helped me to get along in the world as...Expand for more
someone I wasn't.
I have worked as a Marine Mechanic, I worked mt way up to Quality Control at a Paint Company and I worked for the Iowa DOT as a Highway Maintenance Worker for 13 years, I got into the Printing Industry after I injured my back at the Iowa DOT in 1991. I did that for a few years until I started driving over the road in Semis. I worked at several companies for over 13 years with No Accidents or Moving Violations, Over a Million Miles. Down here I worked for a trucking Company for a while then switched to a paper shredding company and worked there before being fired for going to transition to a female at work. I did work as a female in a few jobs before Retiring this year at 62.
I was married Twice, The first time to a Beautiful Blonde named Linda, we were married for 4 years, when she started cheating on me. I never had any Children with her, not that we didn't try. I was married the second time for 15 years and I have two Children with her, her name is Lynett. She also cheated on me and caused the divorce. I have a Daughter Randi who is now 31 and a Son, Dustin who is 22, they both live in Iowa now. All three of my older sisters are still living, but I lost my Mother in 1999, right before Thanksgiving. Both of my Parents where a Great Loss to me.
I tried to count the Ladies I have lived with or had as girlfriends In Iowa and the count was close to 30, I have had 5 girlfriends down here. I guess I am rather picky. I have many Lady friends and I am close to them all, but not in the sexual way, just close girlfriends. I have been on Hormones for over 2 years and I am really enjoying my life now, the Great Weather and being who I truly am, Amy.
I have not heard from anyone from school, no wonder, but I hope everyone had a good life, even those who made it difficult for me.
I Do Believe in GOD and I Pray everyday. GOD has helped me Many times in my life to get me where I am today.
I don't blame all of you for rejecting me now, as I am sure many will laugh and call me names. I remember more than I would like sometimes about school, but There were many Girls there I idolized, Debbie, June, and many more.
