So, in case you all didn't know. I'm a transgender male. I was
born in a females body, but mentally..I'm a man. And that's
exactly what I want to be addressed as. I'm not confused. I'm not
an "it". I'm a male. I get a lot of sh*t from people about it,
but quite frankly, no matter how much people bring me down. I'm
gonna be who I am. It hurts when people call me by my birth name.
It hurts when they call me she/her. Because I know I'm a man.
everyday I fight a war against the mirror. It tears me apart to
look in the mirror and see someone who isn't me. I'm my own worst
enemy. One day, I will be in the body that I'm supposed to be in.
No matter what it takes, I'll get there. Sorry, I just had to
vent. For any one reading this, I'm always here if you need
someone to talk to or vent to. I'll listen, always. I don't
judge. -Cayden Bentlee.
