Thank you for sharing so candidly the intimate details of your transition experiences. I hope that others who have undergone early intervention will come forward and share their own stories, whether it be a negative, positive, or mixed outcome. Unfortunately I feel that far too many of the activists on BOTH sides of this issue have their own agendas to push. Adding to further difficulty to seeing the whole picture of this topic is historically, after many Trans women successfully transition, they often disappear into the woodwork to live out their lives, quietly as a woman. I managed to start HRT at the ripe young age of 57, under whats called, "informed consent". And for me that the the right path. I cant imagine what it would have been like if I had to disclose some of my most intimate feelings about who I was inside to some, "head shrinker". My physical and metal condition was carefully monitored and I knew I could stop at any time. 7 years along, my only regret has been, why didnt do this 20 - 30 years sooner,. I hope that you eventually find peace in your life.
