I am a 29 year old transgender man. I came out a few months before I turned 27. I got on testosterone in March 2020. I got top surgery in October 2020 and a hystrectomy last October. I don't plan on getting any more surgeries. My mom was hesistant at first when me and my therapist told her. But now she is super accepting and gives me my shots and took care of me after my surgeries Everyone else was not suprised when I told them. It hasn't always been easy. I still have a lot of anxiety about being out in public even though I pass and I am developing a restricting type eating disorder and my therapist is telling me that soon I am going to get to the point where I will be too thin to pass. I am also putting my life at risk according to my doctor by staying on my testosterone based on my blood work. But I am choosing to stay on it. But I am much happier then I was before and having a supportive family is great.
