I know that it is not the same as wanting to express your true self as someone who is transgender but in a way it was all about repression of who someone was so I find it linked in my mind.xKezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-32992299388905684372017-04-01T18:30:17.401-04:002017-04-01T18:30:17.401-04:00Although there are elements of this that are of co...Although there are elements of this that are of course sad, this is so inspiring.

I can understand that it must be difficult sometimes to truly be you when society always wants you to be somehow else.
