I want to share five years of my transgender journey in photos. It is vain, I know, but, other than my internet community, I can count on one hand the number of people I can share this journey with. I felt my online community would understand my need to share a photographic journey and maybe it will help others to find strength on their own transgender path.
I continue to stay stealth male for personal reasons, mostly centered on the needs of my family and my job. Coming out would have a too-damaging effect on the lives of people I love for me to publicly come out. Yes, I continue to compromise. Yes, it is not easy. But for now, it is my choice and it still feels like the best answer to my specific circumstance.
