I Am Paige-Elizabeth Harris I'm 37 years old. I am a Disabled Transgendered Bisexual Female.

I was Born Paul Harris in Warren, a suburb of Detroit, MI. For as long as I can remember I have felt I was female and in the wrong body. Being a child of the 80's & being raised by my Grandparents, my Feelings/Desires to be a "Little" girl were not accepted or nurtured. I learned from early on to hide my true nature. As a Teen I was totally Confused to where I Fit Into society, & what I was. I wanted to Act like a "Little" girl, So was I Gay? But i wasn't only attracted to females. took me til my Early 20's to know who/what I was... A Trans Bisexual Female. But I Still didn't have the courage to come out & Openly be Me.

 

When I was 24 I met a woman online on a dating site. It was a whirlwind romance, in 2 months we were engaged. I Felt I needed to tell her I felt like a woman inside. So I told her & she didn't want to Marry a woman. I needed to decided if I wanted Her or to be a woman, 1 or the other not both. I decided to Choose her, I Didn't feel I could be alone. We were Married in 2004. We Moved to MN in 2005. The 1st five years were good, in 2009 we started drifting apart. ThHen she totally changed into someone I didnt know anymore. In 2010 I ended up in Hospital & was placed on a Ventilator, which I'm still on. In 2013 I caught her cheating on me then we Divorced.

 

At that point I Decided I was tired of living for others & being what ohers wanted. In May of 2013 I decided to "Come Out". I Just started by telling famly & friends that I was Transgender & a Little, This is me take me as I am. Thankfully 90% of everyone I Knew accepted me. The Hardest part of coming out for me was just the Fear, Stress, & Worry about if anyone would accept me or not, If I'd end up all Alone. The best thing About coming out was how much Relief I felt, also my self confidence went from like 10% to 80%. I'm way more out going, I Speak my mind more. I'm not scared to talk to people I don't know. The one thing that touched me/meant the Most was when my older Sister started using my female name, I almost cried. My Only Advice to anyone would be, Be True to yourself & who you know are, Don't worry about what others think. Don't be like me and take 30+ years to figure that out. Well this is me Paige-Elizabeth Harris Transgender Bisexual Female!!
