     Throughout this section the focus has been the difficulties and hardships of being transgender. However, it's not all bad by any means. Transgendered individuals are fighting to be themselves. People wouldn't fight that fight if there wasn't some happiness in the end.

    There is a joy that comes from being yourself. It's not quite explainable in words, as most emotions are difficult to explain. However, it is a feeling of contentment of self. It's a feeling of being whole; finally being complete. Most people don't experience this joy because they don't know what it's like to have their gender identity and sex incongruent. Transgendered behavior stems around trying to find that congruency, and to be as close to whole as possible. That way, a normal life is possible.
