Both Sides Now

A man who underwent gender reassignment shares an unflinching account of his journey toward self-acceptance and identity. He reflects on the painful early years of trying to make peace with the female body he was born into, the challenges and revelations that came with living as both a woman and a man, and the profound personal transformation that followed. His story explores not only the physical and emotional dimensions of transition, but also the deeper spiritual and political implications of living authentically in a world still learning to understand gender.
