Very touching story, Emma. One of the things that particularly resonated with me is that you have not changed on the inside, just become a better version of yourself. I felt the same way during my transition. I never particularly liked the term transition. I thought evolution was a better description of what I was going through. I didn’t see myself changing into something different, I saw myself as maturing into a better version of the person I have always been. It is a cliché, but it is like the caterpillar becoming a butterfly. All the important parts about me hadn’t changed, just the things that made me feel and look complete.
