I'm a transgender woman who has loved music for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories are of sitting on the floor and listening to 45's and 78's. Music is the essential part of my life. Over the years I made many attempts to make a list of my favorite music. In 2011 I came up with the idea of http://scotts-vital-music.blogspot.com and creating the list by posting a song every day. When I transitioned in 2015 and changed my name I created this blog to continue the project...

"I Don't Remember Me (Before You)" by Brothers Osborne
I bought the 2020 Grammy CD in Target a couple nights ago and I've been listening to it in the car. There weren't many songs on it that really grabbed me. This is one that did, so I replayed it a few times.
The lines "and I've heard stories about the boy I used to be" ... "but I don't remember me" kinda rang a bell. I was like "Wow! The boy I used to be". I mean I was never really a boy, I know absolutely I was always a girl, but I looked like a boy.
I just passed the 5 year anniversary of starting HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) at the beginning of February 2015. I had developed breasts by March and was "outed" because of them, so I went full time living as a woman at the end of March 2015. The judge signed my order, so I legally became Rachel and female on May 5th, 2015.
So 5 years of being Rachel and living as a woman, long enough that it is weird to think back to when I... looked like a boy/man?... was trying to be something I was not?... was just plain wrong?
And I can't emphasize this enough: I had no idea it was even possible to be as happy as I've been since!
