Beyond the ups and downs recognizable to many, my life story portrays an overarching problem that interacted with life meaning and life events in a distinctly different manner. I am transsexual, nowadays termed ‘transgender’. At an early age I knew I was male. However, I very quickly learned that such was a serious societal no-no in the 1950s, as it still is in many locales and in too many religio-political circles of power. This book portrays the impact of my male self on my life as it developed. I submerged the male identity and strove to be the best woman I could: mother of four in two debilitating marriages that left me near penniless and without the education I needed to flourish. Although deeply hidden, my male self did surface now and then. He finally took over my life when my youngest child left home and it was finally my time. During the hard times, I learned many life lessons, was still able to see beauty, and took refuge in writing and photography. All these things are, in my view and my hope, worth sharing through this project, including the message of the last 20 years that life truly can get better. In my third marriage and my wife’s third, we are in new roles: I as the man I knew I should be, and she as the woman she was meant to be. In this marriage, I have been free to write and to share my honest message of hope and growth. Although my story is personal, it is representative of my whole generation and the times we lived in. I had hoped to live as my true self, Some Fine Day, and the day finally arrived.
