About the Book

"No one ever chooses to be a transgender person, it chooses you. It's just who we are, it's what I am". - Alison Rashell From a very young age I knew that I had been born into the wrong body, in fact the entirely wrong gender. This is a story about that discovery, my transition, my life. It's a story about some of the things that I experienced along the way. The struggles, frustrations, and heartbreaks that I endured. My triumphs and my failures. It's also a story about dispelling a few myths about what a woman like myself is. This is not just a transgender woman's story, nor is it just a woman's story, it is a human story.

About the Author :
I have now lived my life as a woman for over thirty years. Almost all of my adult life. Being a woman is all I know. Being a man is just a vague distant memory to me. I know I once was one but I don't remember what that was even like. When I look back on my childhood and growing up. I tend to see those memories, those events through the eyes of girl. I sometimes forget that I actually saw them through the eyes of a boy. Truth is, I couldn't live as a man now if I tried, and I have tried, with disastrous results. I don't know what being a man even is. I see myself as a woman, I always have. I transitioned at a time and place when things like this just weren't tolerated let alone accepted. I learned very quickly to keep my head down and my mouth shut, to blend in, be just another face in the crowd. But inevitably our pasts always seem to catch up to us. I'm tired of keeping my head down and my mouth shut. It's time for me to live my life out loud. I am a Transgender woman, and as fate would have it, a Lesbian as well. When I first started writing this story I had no idea where it would go, what it could become or if I would finish it and see it published. I don't claim to be a critically acclaimed author or even that I knew what I was doing, I didn't. I'm just a woman who wrote her story and in doing so vanquished a few demons along the way. Maybe by telling my story I can help someone else in their journey through life, help them to vanquish a few of their own demons.
