Hello
Let me introduce myself , My name is
Hilary Cooke
I am female
I am also a trans woman

It took me thirty years to realise who and what I was, and in that time I tried to live my life fitting in with how I thought society & people would accept me. In the end I only hurt myself and the people I love the most.
My partner, children and family.

What I learnt in that time is that you can only be yourself, and that the people who love you, will love you for being yourself.

In the following pages I try to give an insight into what it is like growing up being different from your peers and realising that you do not fit in with the norm that society expects.

I hope that this site can help people understand about gender dysphoria and transsexualism and also help people come to terms with who they are and get on with life.

Hilary  - Happy just being me!
