How I accidentally helped my brother find herself [F, Transgender/Non-Fiction]

Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca, I’m a young ciswoman who’s been through a lot in her life and I’d like to share a story with you about my then-brother who today is a beautiful princess!

It all started when I was a freshman in college (I have a degree in fashion journalism and I’m happily employed in the industry) when I started to hoard fashion magazines. I’ve always been an avid and dedicated reader of VOGUE, ELLE and Cosmopolitan, but it was only in my freshman year when my hoarding tendencies started getting out of control. With my mother’s money, I bought a subscription to about 10 magazines and, at the same time, I was spending upwards of 200 dollars a week in additional women’s magazines I bought from both newsstands and online because I’m really obsessed by them. I know nobody reads magazines anymore, but even today I can’t stop buying them.
