"No one ever chooses to be a transgender person, it chooses you. It's just who we are, it's what I am." - Alison Rashell From a very young age I knew that I had been born into the wrong body, in fact the entirely wrong gender. This is a story about that discovery, my transition, my life. It's a story about some of the things that I experienced along the way. The struggles, frustrations, and heartbreaks that I endured. My triumphs and my failures. It's also a story about dispelling a few myths about what a woman like myself is. This is not just a transgender woman's story, nor is it just a woman's story, it is a human story.
