it all started from a young age, and I’m here to guide you through a few happy, funny, and some serious times in my life that helped me become the Woman I am today! Since I was around 5 years old, I could tell within myself, I was different, I could tell something about me wanted to shine! When I was little, I would go out with my Aunty and look at all the clothes, I’d constantly run to the wedding dresses the girly scarfs the high heals, she would always laugh with me and play around with me like I was just another one of her nieces. For as long as I could remember I was always helping her find clothes to wear telling her what suited her what didn’t. Rearranging her cupboards full of clothes and shoes! She was and remains one of my biggest supporters today x. When I was about 10 years old and becoming more familiar with how things work in school, I knew one thing hadn’t changed, and that was that I still loved dressing up, I remember sneaking across the road to my best friend's house at the time to play mums and dads and babies, Playing with the Bratz dolls her being the boy and me always wanting to be the girl doll, we use to have the best time dressing up in the fairy dresses and being so creative about the characters we played... it was honestly one of the highlights in my childhood.. Before I knew it all the dress ups, and fun times started to turn more serious, I wasn’t such a kid anymore. I was going into high school. This was by far one of the hardest times throughout my life.. It’s where it all really started for me! School was just somewhere I felt I had to go. I never really felt accepted or wanted. I choose to follow a bad crowd and muck up in my early years of high school. This made it even harder to fit in.  I was bullied from a young age from around year 6 to year 11! So many people in my year would dig at my weight, height and the way I acted (fact I had a sensitive side.) They would pick on me for hanging out with girls and never having guy friends, mainly for the fact they thought I was gay!!! Even the girls were bitchy haha but I soon realised I was just as bitchy. High school was a big learning curve for me! I learnt that not everyone was my friend, that following the wrong people only brought bad to my life... I started to believe what people would say to me. This then brought on a lot of depression and anxiety. It made me act bad in school out of school and at home. I then went through a really hard time in about year 9, it finally come out that I was gay.  I knew a lot of people would say “ I told you it was true! But it wasn’t true it was another big first step in my transition, Recognising my sexuality, that was a big deal, Bbbut still wasn’t completely sure what it all meant... was I a boy who liked boys or a boy who was confused and listening to the crowd in my head... by the time I really got into all this, I was about 15 years old and sitting in my lounge room at my mum and dads with my Big Sister Rebecca. We were looking through a magazine, and my sister showed me a full article about a transgender gender couple who transitioned and found each other and ended up getting married. I sat there and thought "that was soo cool" and continued to think wow that’s amazing that they can do that... I kept thinking about it until I finally turned around to my sister and said, “I think that’s me” She was so supportive. About a year later, I finally made up my mind about who I wanted to be in life and finally had the answer to all my bulling and questions... I knew I wanted to be a girl I knew I was transgender. I was with my friends and their family and come out to my best friend's Mother first. It was soo horrific, I was crying nervous and didn’t know what to expect... the same message followed to my sister Saying I need to tell you something. Then even a year later she knew and replied “Your Transgender?” I was shocked that she knew exactly what I was going to say thinking I could have said anything... Again the same message followed to my mum Nan and Aunty. It was the scariest time during my life... I lived rough few teen years, but it was all worth it. Living with others my age on and off for most of my teen years I learnt that I was more accepted, the things I grew to love doing were worth it... from shopping for all nice clothes to buying all the different wigs and accessories... My first time out in public was actually in Sydney. I went to the zoo my friends dressed me up in their clothes did my makeup and helped me with hair. It was sooo scary but so worth it once I was home I felt so sexy and cute while walking around but also very nervous and hidden! Later in my transition, I started to grow my hair and buy more natural-looking clothes as my 18th birthday was quickly approaching. This was going to be the first official time my family got to meet the New Ashley. The better Ashley the healthier and happier Ashley. On the 8th of July 2016, I sat in my fancy dress my high heals, my makeup and my brand-new wig! As I made my way to the venue of my 18th birthday, my palms were sweaty my leg was shaking, and I had no idea what to expect... I remember walking in half way then walking out but was trapped and had no where to go but in that room with my family... so I walked in, and It was an amazing feeling to see everyone. I’m forever thankful for my friends and family’s support I couldn’t have done it without them. I’ve been really happy with everything so far . I started my hormones 4 years ago now and I’m now 4 years into my transition. Surgery is soon approaching and I’d really appreciate all the help I can get to finish this transition and get back to life how it should be. I just want to thank everyone for their support mentally physically and for the donations ❤️ COULD EVERYONE PLEASE SHARE THIS AND HELP ME MAKE IT GO VIRAL Thank you for your time x
