This study was conducted to determine the stories of transformation among transwomen in Cavite. Specifically, this study aimed to investigate the following: (1) how did they come to realize their sexual identity? (2) how did they undergo sexual transformation? (3) how do they live as transwoman? (4) the beginning of the realization of sexual identity;(5) the process they experienced to achieve their transformed selves; and (6) the life they lead after the transformation. The study used phenomenological approach, specifically narrative analysis. The overall structures of the narratives of the participants were all progressive. It was because they were all moving towards a specific goal and that was to become a real woman. The tone of the narratives is optimistic, because although the participants were bullied or discriminated ever since childhood, majority of them believed that by just accepting the fact and living your life happily and contented, other people's opinion about would not matter.
