1. How old are you ? 21
2. How old were you when you realized that you would feel
better as a man? I have never felt like a girl.
3. What makes you feel that way? I dont know why I am like
this, obviously my brain and body arent nsync interesting
when I had my hormone levels checked, I found out that I
have a very abnormally high amount of testosterone naturally
everyone has both estrogen and testosteron in their system
but women normally have at least three quarters of their
chemical balance as estrogen and men vice versa
4. Are you gay as well as transgendered?
I am gay. I like other gay men.
5. If so how old were you when you knew you were gay,
assuming that you are? Actually I came to terms with
being a gay man recently I still find women attractive,
mostly because I find them to be a mystery, Ive never
understood femininity ie Terry Hatcher and Juila Deryfus
(elain on seinfeld) I find really hot otherwise I like men
who are around my height like 5 4 and the kind of gay men
who dont like fashion, the kind that will listen to Slayer
with me- I havent really found anyone but I prefer hooking
up at the bar and not even knowing their name over a
relationship
6. What steps have you
taken in the direction of changing your gender ? Everything
is pretty much set in motion, I just need my family behind
me on this or I need to be able to support myself I will
start hormones this year and have chest reconstructive
surgery after the semester is over
7. How far will you go? Hormones and chest surgery is good
enough, I m not thinking beyond that right now, options for
lower surgery arent great goggle “medioplasty”
or “phalloplasty” if you have the stomach for it Id
personally go for the medioplasty just to have outer
genitals but that still costs a lot and its not that great,
maybe theyll have something better by the time its
reasonable for me
8. How has your choice affected your relationships? Ive
always been a loner. Have some cool friends and thats enough
dont want a romantic relationship I think thats all crap
9. With family? With peers ? Family is tough and so our
peers you get the idea if you read the discussion
10. How has it affected you mentally? Im stronger mentally
in some ways I got some nice callouses emotional shit That bothers other people doesnt
