GENDER DYSPHORIA. PSYCHOLOGIST IN THE MAKING (1 of 2)

Ramin Entry #30

This is a letter of acceptance from an inclusive prestigious University in Indonesia into their 4-year Bachelor of Psychology program.

Since the very second I laid eyes on its notification on my phone, I have been overwhelmingly moved beyond euphoria to unstoppable tears of thankfulness and gratefulness to God. This is a great gift and I’m truly humbled and honored.

This is a mammoth pivotal moment for me. The application process and tests have been quite a struggle. This is a testimony of my dreams and aspirations coming to fruition. This is a convergence of my past, present, and future colliding and meshing together. This represents 45 years of victory over myself. This is a culmination of all the darkness and sufferings that I’ve had to live with, endure, and healed from, to have found this calling of my higher purpose and meaning in life. This represents the recognition, validation, and acceptance that I’ve been searching for throughout my entire life. I’ve had great accomplishments before, but this tops them all in the context of who I am now and the bloody journey I went through to get here. This is a confirmation that I’m on the right path.

I thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, for your relentless support and prayers for me. I appreciate your presence in my life. I wouldn’t be here otherwise.

To begin my studies to become a Psychologist, as a trans woman, is a whole new enormously challenging undertaking on its own. It will be a challenge for the University as well. Be it as it may, a challenge I accept and look forward to.

Another one of my beautiful journeys has just begun…
