My name is Gwendolyn Nacole Young, and I am incarcerated in the State of Virginia and have been since 2004. This writing is a composition of my quest for Gender-Affirming surgery in the manner of a penectomy so that I may align the self-autonomy of my physical body with the internal identity of my female Ego. My hope is that this writing will be received as a higher level of awareness for sincere skeptics while serving as a beacon of comfort to all Transgender and Transsexual individuals who are struggling to materialize their ethereal female or male identity.
