You my friend, have captured that which many have tried to put in words. The feelings and emotions which a two spirited person accepts. It is my hope that with research and open minded thought, you will learn more about a part of life that isn't discussed fully or understood.

You kept my interest through the entire story. I like how you used each stage to bring him a step further along each time and how the loss of the previous only became the stepping stone for the next and better stage.

Excellent story. I would like to see you continue your writing.

I'm happy for you that you have been able to put the confusion and fear behind you, I hope you can let your true beauty shine brightly for the rest of your days!!!

This was an interesting story to read🌹Kant

I enjoyed reading this story🌹Kant

Jamie is a transgender WOMAN. We aren't described by our sex, our looks, or assigned gender at birth. We're described by our true internal gender.

Jamie is not a man. A "transgender man" is male inside. A "transgender woman" is female inside. Folks who are neither male nor female, are both and female, are sometimes one or the other, and/or are something else are called "nonbinary."

Please fix this. It's incredibly depressing to be written about and seen for just your body.

Dear Anonymous,

As always, I appreciate it when someone is into a story enough to leave a comment. However, if you read the introduction of this story again you'll notice that I admitted that I am no expert in regard to trans people. Considering the time in which this story is set, there was no concept of "transgender people". However, the native/indigenous people of the time did have the term "Two Spirits" to describe what we now call transgender.

As I said above, I appreciate your interest in the story but feel you are unfamiliar with the people in time this story takes place.
