I have a friend, who until this year was a typical slightly butch lesbian.
Said friend is lovely, studying early years education, is a Rainbow leader, and volunteers with children with special needs.
But friend has now come out as 'male', and is seeking a medical transition, and suddenly has bad acne, suggesting testosterone therapy has already been started.
I'm struggling with the fact that friend (who adores children) is choosing to possibly make themselves infertile due to the pressure to fit in a neat little gender box. It's so sad to think they may wake up in a few years, and de-transition, but it could be too late to have children.
