Julia Kaye shares her very personal journey of becoming herself. Confused for a long time about her gender and why she was unhappy even though her life was full of things everyone wants...a good job, happy and supportive relationships and friends. In 2016, she decided to undergo the transition to become a woman and started hormone therapy along with daily actions to appear more feminine. At first, it feels right but as this journal shows, there is much more to it. Ups and downs are frequent. Is this the right thing? Will she ever look in the mirror and see a woman looking back? Will OTHERS see a woman? What are the legal hurdles to changing your name? Changing your gender? Communicating this change to friends, family and even companies with which you do business is daunting. Some days it feels like the best thing she has ever done, some days it feels like she is on the wrong path. In the end, however, she prevails. She feels stronger and better than ever. I'm so glad she shared with the rest of us. Relate-able to anyone who has had to find themselves.
