KEY TAKEAWAYS


Transitioning is a personal journey and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Some individuals may choose to undergo surgeries, while others may opt for hormone therapy or other forms of transition.


Hormone therapy, specifically testosterone for female-to-male transition, can have a significant impact on physical and emotional changes, such as facial hair growth, voice deepening, and emotional stability.


Dating and relationships as a transgender person can be complex, but it ultimately comes down to individual connections and chemistry. Attraction is not solely based on physical characteristics.


Education about gender identity and transgender issues should focus on promoting acceptance, understanding, and allowing individuals to explore their own identities without pressure or labels.


Representation and media portrayal of transgender individuals can have a significant impact on public perception and acceptance. Clumsy or negative representations can perpetuate harmful stereotypes, while positive and accurate representation can foster understanding and empathy.

BEST MOMENTS

"So for me, I have had, I've begun taking testosterone approximately nearly, how long has it been? Two and a half years ago." 

"I'm so happy in myself now and how I look physically and, you know, that I can present with my chest and how I am and all those things." 

"I'm happy. My family's happier than ever. I'm happier, stronger mentally, emotionally, physically than I've ever been." 

"I think of the there's not enough representation yet. There's not enough. There's not enough safety. There's not enough acceptance that then causes the fear and the uproar."

"I think it's just a massive lack of understanding. Obviously, when you've got people who have known you for a long time, those mistakes are going to happen, and we have to allow people to make those mistakes."
