Jacqueline

Jacqueline Townsend is a twenty-five-year-old transgender woman who lives in Los Angeles. Born in Egypt to a German father and Egyptian mother, her family moved to the US when she was five, where she then attended a private school for her early years of education. At thirteen, her parents sent her to an all boys boarding school with the intention of getting her the best possible education so she could grow up to be a successful doctor. Instead, Jac took the opportunity to explore herself and tread on every good Muslim rule her family taught her.

Jacqueline was born Jackson, and she always knew there was something different about her. She had a close-knit group of friends at boarding school who supported her throughout the many phases of her life. At fourteen she came out as gay, but even though being with boys felt right, there was still something wrong on her end. She struggled with depression and poor body image and could never truly understand what it was she hated about herself. She always leaned toward women's clothes, and she started crossdressing and experimenting with makeup in her teens. She was sixteen when she began to admit that she didn't feel comfortable as a boy, and from then on she began researching transsexuality and gender dysphoria, setting her on the path to understanding more about herself. She asked her friends to start calling her Jacqueline, and she began to dress in women's clothes when she wasn't required to wear the male uniform of her school.

Coming from a Muslim family, Jac hid all this from her parents until she graduated high school. The summer before she left for college, she came out as a trans woman, and her family took it extremely hard. Jac was determined to live her life as a woman, however, and she moved to Los Angeles to start a new life under a new identity. She still visits home occasionally, but her relationship with her family remains somewhat strained, with the exception of her brother, Kyle. He supported her, and continues to do so. He is currently in the Air Force, and they still try to talk every day. (Kyle is the one thing that can almost surely set her off or trigger a panic attack. Concern for his safety keeps her under a steady stream of constant pressure.)

Jac is currently in the process of transitioning. She presents as a woman and passes easily except when she's naked, being pre-operative. She has already undergone electrolysis, facial feminization surgery, and voice coaching. She considers herself heterosexual. She loves fashion and often dresses in bright colors and outrageous accessories. She dropped out of college after one year due to a struggle with depression, but two years later she went back and is now studying cosmetology and business. She works part-time at a salon and is saving up for sex reassignment surgery.

Jac is upbeat most of the time, if a bit sarcastic. Despite how it takes her a little time to open up to others about herself, she's a caretaker at heart, extremely friendly, and will offer a helping hand to anyone who needs it. She enjoys drinking a little too much and loves trashy TV. She still struggles with depression and poor body image, but she's working on it. She's looking for people that she can be honest with and trust fully.
