Today on our show we have Emma who
understood she was different when she was around 5 years old. She says “This is the first time I remember I
dressed with my sisters dress and this is also the first time I remember my
family took it very bad. It was my first time I understood I wasn’t “normal”
and what I was doing it wasn’t “normal” from the point of view of my family.
Unfortunately, I had a very difficult childhood
with a lot of violence from my family that made me hide more and more who I
really was. At 15 years old, I started to dress with woman cloths (and hiding
it of course), because it was giving me the feeling of freedom. It made me
realize that I was so different from all my friends. I was still living in a
transphobic and homophobic country and I was very scared to talk to anyone
about it. I was scared about my family’s reaction (very scared), about my
friends reaction and so on. It was so difficult to talk about it that I really
thought it will die with me. I was given the image that such a person is a sick
and deviant person, so even if I knew I wasn’t that, I had to keep it for me,
because I knew that most of the persons in my life at that moment couldn’t
understand. I was a very shy person and had a hard time “fitting” in the “normal”
rules of the society, but when I was around 18 years old, I started to adapt. I
stopped cross-dressing and eventually I started to think that I have to fight
to accept my body. I was disgusted by my own body and was hating myself since I
was at least 10 years old. Emma found true love, is married and has a child. http://www.transitionradio.net/chat_and_television.html
