I am a female-to-male (FTM) transsexual, which means I was born a girl yet always identified as a male. My outside characteristics did not match the person I felt I was on the inside. I am also a photographer. This is my visual journey. This is self-portrait 5 months after my "top" surgery. I received a double masectomy with nipple grafts. The scars will fade, but my photos will always remain.
