“Don’t let anyone tell you who you are. You know better than anyone else."

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

I realized I was trans when I was 12? What made me realize I was trans was my first period, I was absolutely mortified at the thought and when I first got mine I had a four month break down.

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

I started physically transitioning when I was 16, I got my gender affirming hair cut, started wearing male clothing and wore a binder , when I turned 21 I started medically transitioning.

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

I’m a year and half on T so far and I have never felt more comfortable with my appearance than I do now.

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

Please don’t let anyone tell you who you are. You know better than anyone else.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Never be scared to live your truth, the people that love and care about you will be there for you every step of the way.

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

Yes.
