Labels generally fail unless you are totally into a binary thought process. I am less than typical though in that I was born with an intersex condition, I have distal hypospadias, and my doctor is going to have my karyotype tested for XXY soon.

This morning my fear was so bad (simply the fear of being inside of me) that I am thinking of putting myself into a clinic. The tbing is, I can't afford to freeze my sperm on top of the costs of storage for at least 5 years to a decade, when I may be ready to financially afford to care for children; if I even decide to want children by that time..

My doctor change the medicine to finastride alone without estrogen for a couple weeks and my symptoms greatly improved.
When I was first exploring what her feelings about transgenders were, (before I came out), she said 'oh, I'm fine with them as long as they're not douches'. Ideally, treatment starts before the development of secondary sex characteristics so that teens can go through puberty as their identified gender.
