My transgender story
So for starters, hello there I am a transgener individual looking at starting hrt. It all started back when I didn't even think about gender differences and never understood them until later on, I was always interested in my sister's toys and easy bake oven but I never got any of these things for myself, however I did get to play with them with my sister. I remember how I was always jealous of the fact that my sister got to go to special events without having to wear a tight suit and have her hair sprayed til it was rock solid, I always thought that they did these things to me to punish me for whatever it was I did, but I later found out that it was just because I was a boy and my sister was a girl. When we got older my sister seemed to get more and more distant and I didn't know why at the time, and as I got older, I hated more and more about what I was becoming. At around 15 years old I started to wonder what life would be like living as a girl and not a boy, I imagined getting to have no body hair, no low pitched voice, no broad shoulders, and can dress however they liked. I started to dress up as a girl in private starting simple, then eventually going all the way to makeup and stuffing my bras. I always wished that doing this would change me somehow, but everyday this wish never came true, I decided that as I would hope for a miracle that I would take matters into my own hands and find a way outside of belief. I eventually gave up on medical treatment since at the time I could only find surgical procedures to change my body, I never even looked at the internet, just on TV. Years later I find a treatment online when searching for ways to make me look more feminine and I found the beauty of hrt. I nearly cried seeing this form of treatment and wished I would have found it sooner. I spent months researching all about hrt and its effects and came to the conclusion that this was right for me. So I called the LA LGBT center to schedule an appointment and I will be going this fall to start my transition.
