"Michelle I think I... I'm transgender too. But I don't know how to... come to terms with it." You shyly admitted to her.
"Oh honey you have nothing to be afraid of. This is just who you are and you need to accept that!" replied Michelle.
"But what does that even mean? I still don't know how to deal with this. I keep bottling it up and I just can't seem to deal with it!" you say as you tried to hold back your tears.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with who you are. Sure you'll get some people telling you otherwise, but what do they know? They don't know how you feel, how you think. You need to get the help that I did. You should try talking to your therapist, maybe you'll be able to see a gender therapist after that and the road will be open from there!" Michelle tells you.
"But... those are some pretty big steps you're skipping and jumping over. I can't just walk right up to a bunch of medical professionals and all these different people and spill my guts and all my deepest darkest secrets..." you sighed.
"Well think about it this way; you've going through all of this alone. Just like I was. Only this time, you'll have someone there for you to help you through this, me! I'll guide you along the way and help you back on your feet when you're down, in fact we can book an appointment with the therapist today! How does that sound?" she offered.
And so that's exactly what she does. It's not easy for you to admit all deep dark, personal, embarrassing secrets that you had trouble even admitting to yourself, to all these people, but it's what you have to do in order to pull yourself out of the rut of misery you appear to have fallen into.
You face lots of ups and downs along the way, you even slide back to where you started momentarily, but with your friends and your new BFF Michelle there to help you along the way, the process is a lot smoother and more comfortable to you. Eventually you get HRT and transition to female. You come out to everyone you know, many of your friends and family support you, but your parents disown you. But you don't let that hold you down, because it's a small price to pay for your mental wellbeing. Screw them, you don't need them.
Early on people joke about you and mock you for looking across between a man and a woman. It takes about a year on a half on HRT and a couple of surgeries for people to stop misgendering you all the time and once it happens, it's euphoric. You're finally who you are on the inside. You feel just like you did in that dream you had before you met Michelle after she returned. You feel beautiful and wonderful and you just want to hug yourself! You don't hate yourself anymore. You're not in the wrong body anymore.
You can finally feel... happy. You're you! You can't believe you actually did it, now you feel like you your life can finally begin.
