I just want to be a girl! Who is this woman named tess, and why will she not reveal her face? In this moment is she crying for her past or because this journey is not what she first imagined? She was never hated and mocked by so many as she is today. What happened to jules, to his beautiful wife, and to their marriage when he uttered those words he could never take back? Did tess embrace her journey alone and was it one of tears and frustrations or a yellow brick road to her dream? Is being a trans female really any different than being a cisgender female? The answers to these questions and more lie within these pages. Come, take this journey with both jules and tess. just tess includes real-time entries from her journal the songs of the sirens and poetry written during the first four years of her journey.
