Hi, I am Karina a transgender woman who is married and has two daughters . I was assigned male at birth, but have always known I was different. I have suppressed my feelings of femininity and have tried to live life as a man, but as I am getting older, the struggle to hide my true self is becoming increasingly unbearable. I am in the closet, I feel trapped in this male identity but can't bring myself to come out due to the fear of losing my family. I wear women's clothing in secret and sometimes wish I had the courage to live life as the woman I know I am. I worry about the impact it could have on my children and fear how my wife might react if she ever found out. Despite feeling alone, I find glimmers of hope when I hear stories of other transgender women who have overcome their fears and embraced their true selves. I am currently on HRT but my family does not know about it. For now, I remain in the closet, hoping that one day I will find the courage to come out and express my femininity openly.
