“I am 22 y/o from the US. I socially transitioned at 16 and medically transitioned from 2018 til February 2022. I always felt strange and different but it took years of messing what my parents gifted me up to figure out I don't need synthetic injections to "be more me" when in turn it further removed me from myself in terms of self worth, self knowledge/awareness, attraction, and every aspect of my life. I’ve heard 'your mistakes dont define you' while mine defines every inch of me. I can only hope and attempt to return to what I once had naturally. Please don't think you have to deal with anything for life."
