Lyla's Story

I guess it is about time that I put something in here, as I have left it blank for quite awhile. I realize that most of you that have visited this page were shocked to see the changes I've made in me. The only thing is that these changes were just on the outside, as the real me has never changed-- the outside just matches the inside now. Throughout my school years I was pretty much a quiet type, always hiding the real me to avoid torment, and harassment, not to meantion the beatings I might have had to endure. The world wasn't as tolerant and understanding as it has become with certain gender problems,now. I am sure that some people that were close to me may have suspected that I was not telling everything about me, but the really great friends never questioned my reasons for doing it. To them I give my heartfelt thanks for being my friend. Somewhere along the journey of this life, I got the courage to admit to my close friends who I really was, and found that they weren't my friends as I thought. I never lied to them about myself, it was more an omission of truth, to keep me alive and intact. They evidently saw it as betrayal, or weird, or that I went nuts--either way they went away quickly, never to be seen again. So much for true and blue...Expand for more
buddies, which they weren't. Some stood staunchly by me, and for them I am grateful, they kept me sane in the transition from my old life, to my new one. I owe so much to them, and daily I try to pay it back for them. Today, I live as myself, and I am finally very happy, having found love as me, and redemption in life. I work for the U.S. Post office, as a mechanic, and electronics tech, repairing the mail processing machinery. I work on the shift that processes the main part of the mail bulk, so it is a fast paced shift. To all those that threw me away, I just want them to know they missed the real me--never gave her a chance--never met the Transgender Rights activist, never saw me finally happy. They just knew the miserable person that I was. I was a poor trade off. I want to thank the alumni at the reunion that made me feel so welcome, made it a memorable time in my life. To those that snubbed me, big deal, I have dealt with your kind before, and it isn't very hard to do. I guess that is about it, the condensed story, but at least I put something here--more than most, less than others. I am sorry if my changing makes you uncomfortable, but I did it for me, and not for any other. Thanks for taking the time to read this, if you did.
