I Am My Own Self

I AM MY OWN SELF !

A male to female transgender themed short story, extracted from a longer Chinese Manhua story, called *I Am My Wife !?*, created and written by Luànshì Yín Niáng 乱世银娘 . The original Chinese Manhua was about an adult male person who was taken back in time to relive their high school years all over again. This transgender themed story, *I Am My Own Self*, is lifted out of the original story, and presented as a stand-alone short story. This short story is about a young teenager in that same high school, who was born perceived as a male, but was snookered into the ominous situation wherein they would have to 'Come Out' to the entire class as the Trans Girl that they were destined and meant to be. The short story, *I Am My Own Self !*, was extracted, reconfigured, and expanded upon by Holly Ann Ivy.

**SYNOPSIS**

All through their childhood, and into their teenage years, Yulan Feng has always been a shy, soft-spoken, and reserved person. As such, they never developed any kind of lasting or successful social interaction with others. Yulan was always a loner, with no close or personal friends. Contributing to their social awkwardness was the constant troublesome feelings and fear in the back of their mind, regarding what they knew about themselves. Deep down in their mind and heart they knew that, although they were born perceived as a 'male', they were actually a female in mind, heart, soul, and spirit. Yet the social pressures were always there forcing one to conform to one's perception from society. That forced Yulan to always keep to themselves, rather than face the certain rejection and ostracism that would be dropped upon them like an anvil, as a way to keep them 'in their place' for the purpose of fulfilling the role of a supposed 'male'.

When Yulan entered high school, they thought that if they could only make it to graduation and adulthood, then maybe they could have more control over their life, and be able to begin to transition to female at that time, doing so in their preferred way. Yet, what circumstances and situations are awaiting Yulan in the classroom, that will bring their deepest secrets to the fore, and certainly such things will be plainly exposed for all to see ?

Numbered Chapters or Chapter Sections not related to the Main Character will not be featured in this short story. When the Main Character is presenting as a supposed "male", male or gender-neutral designations will be used. When the Main Character does a 'Coming Out' as a Trans Female, and begins to present in female attire, female designations will be used.
