[Samantha Rogers]

I cannot say that fear, as you mean, really entered into the equation at all for me, Clara. Though I had feared discovery for years when I dressing only secretly, by the time I set out to grow breasts I had become so desperate that I no longer cared... I knew I had to do something or I was going to go crazy.
I have heard many transwomen describe the moment when they decided to go full time as a moment when they realized the only other choice was death...literally a life or death decision, and with no real choice possible.
Though I was not at that point, certainly, the moment did bear some similarities.
Fear of discovery was the least of my concerns.
