This has been a thread I’ve wanted to do for a while, but wasn’t sure how much traction it’d have. That said, the recent discussion in the Religion thread seems to indicate that there is a niche that warrants its existence. It is said that the best way to absorb what you learn is to teach it to others. I’m hoping that by discussing the subject with others, I in turn can better understand my own thoughts and feelings on the matter.

I’ll start with a primer of myself, so we have a baseline of where I’m coming from. I am a 22 year old Transgender woman. That means I identify as female, and prefer to be referred to as such. I’ve known this about myself since I was 17 (2014), but if I wanted to, I could dig into my life deep enough to find hints about it as far back as puberty, or maybe even before. I have been on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) since January 23, 2018, or for about 8 months as of the time of writing this. I’m still waiting for the government to process my change of name and gender designation application, but if everything goes well, it’ll be completed by the end of the month. (JEDIT: Certificate for change of name just arrived! WHOO!)

So now, I open the doors for you. Ask your questions, but try to be respectful. I’m still human, after all.
