I wish he was able to see that it gets better. 3 years later I am 3 weeks post op, 16 months post hormones and 2 years away from graduating college. <BR/><BR/>Other young trans men and women, hang in there please. <BR/><BR/>kazahehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791130376973380877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13297025.post-12203387231670534872007-11-02T13:18:00.000-07:002007-11-02T13:18:00.000-07:00This is so sad.
