| Lauren Patrice Gable 2014 46 years |
From the age of eleven, I did not feel masculine.
I wanted to be a woman, but it was not achievable in those days.
I took great care not to have children with either of my two wives because I knew there was something wrong with me.
I cross-dressed on and off for 25 years in an attempt to be as much like a woman as I could.
Both of my marriages ended in divorce when my wives discovered my crossdressing.
I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2013 at age 45 and my Florida doctor agreed with me that living as a woman and beginning to take hormones would pave the way for my gender affirmation surgery.
After my second divorce, I quit my job as editor in chief of three magazines. Thanks to a hacker, I had a Florida driver's license listing me as a female known as Lauren Patrice Gable. So, I drove my Saturn from Florida to Burbank, California, where no one knew me as a man.
I rented an apartment on Pass Avenue in Burbank and created an online business called Hollywood HQ, selling books on Amazon.
Unlike my previous years of crossdressing, I was now imitating a woman 24-hours a day, taking hormones with a local doctor, and striving to reach two goals.
I needed to lose weight and I must earn the money for my gender affirmation surgery.
I began my journey by living as a woman for four years in Burbank, California.
