My Life’s Journey
Feeling I was born in the wrong body, join me on my journey.
Tuwa’s story:
Imagine you are a young teenage male, Living every day knowing something just does not feel right. The feeling of being different and not fitting in. Having a deep seeded feeling that the physical body you were born in did not match your true self.
So begins my journey, growing up in a family were no one talked about difficult subjects such as feelings, or issues they might be dealing with. Instead, the volume was raised on the TV or stereo. What this created was anxiety, sadness and anger within me. I felt that my life was in chaos, I felt lonely, confused, and frustrated. I just locked myself in my room.
Trying to fit in, to follow the “norm”. I had relationships with girls, and to be honest, it never worked, it just never felt right. I then starting meeting gay men. I immediately felt popular and enjoyed the attention. But something still did not feel complete.
