Boy Named Solar

Hi I am Solar Carters and I am 22 years old. I'm here to tell you about my story and how I got where I am today.

So I wasn't always a boy, I was born as a girl named Sally Carters but I never felt like a girl and I was too afraid to tell my parents that I never felt like a girl, so I hid the fact that I was transgender from my parents because my parents aren't supporters of the LGBTQ Community. I actually kept a secret until I graduated high school then told my parents that I was transgender, and as I expected they disowned me and called me hurtful names. The only people I told was my big brother and best friends. Sadly when I turned 16 my big brother passed away from lung cancer, I was really sad when he passed away because he was the only family member that accepted me for who I am and he was the only expect my best friends who actually cared about me.
