transition update

so a lot has changed since the last time i was really active on tumblr. first i actually came out right before my sophomore year, so that’s good. my parents were super accepting, which i knew they would be, but my anxiety kept me from doing it for awhile. my parents let me start gender therapy and then T pretty quickly, about a month before i turned 16. T is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. my dysphoria got so much better and so did my social anxiety. a little less than a year later, i had top surgery with Dr. Hope Sherie in Charlotte, NC. i’ve been working on my legal transition which is practically impossible since i live in georgia but it’ll get done :)
