I Wish the World Could Have Known Me
Someone wrote…
I’m a married mother in my thirties. But I know in my heart that I am not a woman. I have known since I was a young child. I secretly called myself a masculine name, and dressed as unfeminine as possible. But I’ve never come out. I will never come out. No one will ever know. It is not an option. I am too scared. I just wanted to tell someone.
I’m a man.
My name is Caleb.
I wish the world could have known me.
What’s your experience?

The world is poorer without knowing you, and I’m glad you could at least use this forum to tell people about yourself.
Sometimes all our choices are incredibly tough. And I know just how terrible this kind of fear feels. Sending you tons of positive vibes & good thoughts.

Hi Caleb,
I wish we lived in a world where we didn’t have to be afraid to be ourselves. But I’m glad to hear from you, friend. It must have been hard to write that post; you’re brave and you’re wonderful.
All my love,
Tove

Caleb,
Your tale sounds so much like mine. Hugs and best wishes through the internet, which allows us to be who we are (at least a little) without having to come out.
