wrong.It’s been 18 months since I began the process of socially transitioning: coming out to the people around me as trans, asking people to respect my pronouns, and changing the way I present to the world.Even before I had fully acknowledged my own transness and that I wasn’t cisgender (meaning my gender identity is not the same as the gender I was assigned at birth when a doctor looked at my genitals) I had begun to think about the kind of medical transition I wanted.Stepping into my gender has shown me how important pursuing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and surgery are for me.My breasts are not huge, but they’re undeniably there.
