“You can be loved. Your body will be ok. You will regain your singing voice again."

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

-

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

I was 16 when I came out to everyone. I was fortunate enough that a great friend of mine helped me fund the start of my medical transition, and I started T when I was 17. I self-funded top surgery at 19.

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

They have made a world of difference. I am happier, stronger, more confident.

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

You can be loved. Your body will be ok. You will regain your singing voice again.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Fuck everyone who tells you that they wish you were a certain way. It is your body first and foremost, you're the one who has to live in it, so you deserve to have it the way you like it. and you deserve love. always.

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

Yes.
