on Wednesday I arrived at work verry nervous. He came up to me and asked pointedly if I had given the letter to anyone else at work. No I hadn't was my response... the best part was the end of the conversation. He ended the conversation with "I'm glad you found out who you really are

Hello Phillip,
I can only tell you that I read your post with the same sighs and tears that you put into your letter. I felt as I read your words that you had in some way lived my life, known my pain and my longing for release from a body and gender that NEVER fit. I experienced the same sense of hopelessness you described as a child, aware that there was no way I would ever be able to live up to what my parents, teachers and peers expected of a me as a boy. At five years old I all I could do was to cry myself to sleep night after night, wanting to wake up different, not in a male body. How could I tell anyone, especially my parents, "Mommy, Daddy... I'm not a boy!"
It took a great deal of courage to tell your friends. I know, I did the same thing one year ago when I told most of my co-workers who and what I was. One or two raised their eyebrows, but most just accepted me. A few said they always knew something about me was different, but they weren't able to put their finger upon it. Now they know.
Thanks for sharing that story with us, and know that you are NOT the only traveller walking on this road. Castration was not a sexual fantasy for me; I just wanted freedom from bondage and I have it at last.
It's good to know there is another person with a similar experience.
Best,
Greg
