Reflections of a Self-Made Man

Through these pages you'll experience two very true and meaningful
love stories. I've seen love from both sides now. That doesn't mean in
winning or losing. In both of these encounters of the heart I don't consider
either one as a loss. Carol taught me how to open up my heart and receive
love unconditionally. I loved her with my total being. Charlotte proves to
me every day that she loves me unconditionally. Both of these incredible
women had and have my heart in nothing less than total commitment.
You will also experience a victory over a life long and very personal
issue. Gender disorders are very serious in nature; for they are fooling
with Mother Nature. We exist with invisible birth defects that are very
visible to us. Some of us don't make it to the victory party of our body's
emergence. Some of us try to cut out the parts that shouldn't be there.
Many die, or try to escape with drugs or alcohol.
I've told the story with my usual sense of humor, honesty and passion
for life. These are all very important traits that have helped me survive
during my journey. Now I'm looking to the future with a new body and
name, more fi tting to my heart, soul and spirit.
Some people may not agree with what I have done. I challenge them
to read "Refl ections" with an open heart and mind, imagining themselves
in my shoes walking down the same path.
