I was not “born a girl,” nor was my body “wrong.” No, I was born myself—a boy—and was assigned female at birth. My body is not “wrong”; my body followed the instructions it was given quite well! And still, at one point, my body did not fit me completely. Parts of my body felt foreign and misaligned. But I did not change my gender when I came out. I did not wake up one day and become a man or decide to be who I am. No, I decided to tell people about it.
