When Sook Yan was introducing me, everyone started to laugh already. I was very nervous because the atmosphere should be very serious. I myself also couldn't help but kept laughing. But then, I tried to control myself and started my speech. Throughout the speech, I was blank. I kept forgetting my script and I paused for several times. OMG. I thought I had ruined the whole thing. I was truly upset at that moment.
However surprisingly, everyone gave me a big applause after I had finished my speech. I was shocked. Some of my friends came approaching me afterwards asking whether I was a real transsexual. When I said no, they asked me to prove it. Haha...they were so funny. Some said my acting had deceived them into believing the story.
You know why?
haha...here is the reason.
When I paused, my body started to shiver and I kept looking downwards. I wiped my eyes while sniffing. I was actually trying to remember my script but they thought I was suffering from recalling all the bad memories. All of them thought I was choking with sobs and was unable to speak.
What a misunderstanding? haha...
And now please take a look at my script....
Hi, everyone. I’m Alissa. I was called Aaron before I completed Gender Reassignment Surgery. I know what’s in your mind now but please don’t hold any prejudice against transsexuals. We are not freaks, nor do we suffer mental illness. We are simply trapped in the wrong bodies.
When I was young, sex had seemed unimportant to me. I lived a fairly gender free life up until I was sent to school. And you know, girls and boys had to wear different uniforms. All the other girls were dressed in blue A-line skirts, but I had to be like the boys in their long trousers. I hated it. I like hanging out with girls and I always acted like them but I used to get teased by those stupid guys for being a sissy. I had never looked at myself as a male in any way whatsoever. I was a girl born with a penis, that's all.
Then suddenly in my teenage years, I began to get beard growth which was really horrified me. I was worried what other hormonal changes were about to hit me. Since then, I was so moody and depressed. My parents sent me to a psychiatrist, but the so-called experts were useless. All I wanted to know was why I, as a woman, was getting a beard. It was just a physical problem as far as I was concerned, but they thought I was mental.
I always know what I want. I used to wear mini-skirts and dressed as a girl. I can’t be bothered to take others’ criticism.
Then, I met Mike. He was a wonderful man. He started to date me and both of us were eventually in love. However, all this time he had no idea about my gender background. I never told him about it and of course he never asked. He had no reason to suspect I was anything other than a normal girl. Everything seemed to go well until Mike asked for a more intimate relationship. I was filled with guilt at not being frank. I loved him very much but I couldn’t tell him the truth. I had to make the break with him.
The breakthrough of my life came when I came across Gender Reassignment Surgery. It took my parents long to accept the fact that their only son was about to turn into a transsexual but they were considerate. They knew the trauma I was going through. After the cosmetic surgery finalizing my transition from a male to a female, I was finally on my way. I moved to US and now I am a finance manager in a big firm. To date, I am still looking forward my true love and I hope to get married just like the other normal girl.
