Oliver, United Kingdom (he/him)

“Hang in there bro, you've got this."

Was there a definitive moment you realized you were trans? How old were you?

When I was in year 3 I asked one of my few female friends if she'd still like me as a guy. She said yes, and I’d never felt so happy.

How soon after did you start to make changes? What were these changes?

Around year 8 I socially transitioned.

Have these changes started to make you feel more comfortable in your life and body?

Yes.

What would you tell your younger self? Would you do anything differently?

Would probably transition sooner to be honest.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Hang in there bro, you've got this.

Have the gender-affirming steps you’ve taken impacted your overall happiness and sense of well-being?

Yes.
