Personal Narrative: My Transgender

Improved Essays
I was once a boy named Lombardi. Now I’m a girl named Krystal. I live in Corneria and my life was to say the very least, humiliating. When I was 14, I developed a strange ability; I could change from human to an animal. I don’t know how this happened exactly, but I definitely didn’t tell this to my parents. When I was 20, my body developed oddly and my voice started to change drastically. My mother and father took me to the examination room and found out that I was transgender. Since my mother and father worked for Corneria’s government, Corneria’s government had a very stern rule for Transgenders and that rule is if there is a transgender living in Corneria, the government would make the transgender serve as a slave. The slaves would do people’s …show more content…
My parents told me to go inside of the closet and hide. The closet was filled with pots if I were to knock one over, my life would be over. I doubted that I wouldn't be captured. It was a twist of fate and the army somehow busted the impenetrable steel door. The army asked questions to my parents as to why they were out for so long. They said they faced a lot of weather conditions in Cerinia and said they came back today. One soldier said, “why are you wearing armor?” My parents said they heard someone was coming to their house and heard noises coming from the door so they wore armor and went to the basement to be protected. The army felt regretful for destroying the basement door and apologised. Another soldier said, “where is Lombardi?” My parents said he died from heart failure. The army feels pitied onto my parents and prayed for the “deceased Lombardi.” The army left. Our objective was accomplished until, a rat scared me and I tumbled upon the pots and made a lot of noise. The army then came back and investigated, They found me. The army then asked my parents angrily why they …show more content…
I was taken to the government office and the government official said I had to work as a slave for the rest of my life. I was dead inside. I had no sense of enthusiasm. My parents were never to work in the government ever again. Everyone would treat me like an object. They would throw bricks at me which, considering that since the slave's job is to clean the city and do people’s work; wouldn't it make sense if the people cared more about the physical and mental well-being of the slave? The city is almost always clean and I don’t understand why I have to clean the city. Once we had finished working, we would be given food and then we went to sleep near the surrounded barbed fence located at the center of the Corneria. There would be guards walking to see if something was going on. Then something hit me. I could change into an animal. However, I thought this was a horrible idea thinking that since there is only one slave, I had to wait

    (Chapter 1). Usually the slaves were prisoners of war or criminals therefore, they deserved the punishment and even then they weren’t treated cruelly. His culture seemed respectable, since they had reasonable rules and ways to treat each other. They were known to be clean and decent, so their lives seemed serene until another district would declare a war. The worst part was that there would be kidnappers on the look out to steal unattended children to use as slaves.…

    Life as a slave was very complex and varied greatly depending on who was their master and mistress. Slaves were forbidden to marry, own property, attend church services, and learn to read and write. Their lifestyles ranged from living a comfortable and almost normal life to continuously being mentally abused and physically beaten to the brink of death. A skilled slave and their family received better treatment and living conditions than other slaves.…

    Experience Of Slavery

    • 1389 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Slavery in the United States lasted for nearly 300 years before it was finally abolished after the Civil war of 1861-1865. During this horrible period, humans were sold off like goods, and separated from friends and family, whipped constantly, overworked, starved, placed under the harshest of conditions which led to the untimely death of many of them (Critique of Slave Trade, 1987). Frederick Douglass also narrates his experiences in his book from when he was little and we see that they were very similar to the conditions of the slaves highlighted in texts on colonial labor. He was separated from his mother at a very young age and while he was just a little boy, he watched his aunt being beaten until she was covered in blood, he watched as a slave was shot dead just because he trespassed, he watched heads get slashed and people beaten beyond recognition (Douglass, 2-7).…

    Coming out isn’t ever painless, but in the end it’s worthwhile. On October 10, 2015 I came out to my friends as a lesbian. It took over three years to mustard up the courage to accept myself. The moment I realized I was “different” I immediately block the notion from my head and reframed from it for over two years. I allowed myself to believe the lie I fictitious, until the point I could no longer function.…

    When Frederick Douglass described this bloody transaction, it involved slaves being whipped to the point of death if convicted of a crime. These crimes could be as simple as a misdemeanor up to a high crime such as running away or rebelling against the slave master all of which meet the slave punishment which was the whip. For slaves on these plantations, they were only allowed a monthly allowance of food and clothing which further dehumanizes them and treated them as just cheap labor. Slaves living on these planation’s were given the bare minimum when it comes to food and clothing to wear with most shirts made from a rough material that burned their skin.…

    Have you ever done something that scared the crap out of you? That you spent months working up the nerve to do, but nearly gave up when the time came?

Like 50% of this world, I am male, and like a good amount of the population, I am white. I am 21 years of age in the United States and I am 22 years of age in Korea because of cultural differences. However, I identify myself as a much older person than I really am.…

    “I just remember going to bed that night and praying to God that while I slept, he would fix the mistake and when I woke up that I’d be the boy I knew I was supposed to be,” Derrick says to me. At six-years-old, he feels like he was born in the wrong body, but at that age, he didn’t even know what transgender (a person whose gender identity does not correspond to that person’s biological sex assigned at birth) meant. Early on he wanted to wear what the boys got to wear when going swimming, though he wasn’t allowed because his mother explains to him that he was a girl. Struggling with self-conflict is hard enough, it is even harder when you struggling with gender identity issues on top of that. We all have something about ourselves that other…
