- WelcomeΒ Shawna...to TGH... I'm So Happy for You.. That You were able to start your Transition at the age of 13..
- You are SoΒ Lucky.... May I ask..
- What is your AgeΒ Now??
Shawna,
Your intro caught my eye. First, welcome, and I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions.
May I ask what kept you back from acknowledging and letting others know your feminine self from 5 until 13?
Did you go through male puberty changes before being acknowledged by your parents?
I've had more than one discussion with others about puberty blockers and hormonal transition in children, and as you probably are aware there has been an uprising against it in many states. So, what are your views on this?
Jeri/JAKe (on hormones for a year and a half and 11 weeks out from have my GRS surgery MTF)
