TRANSGENDER PUBERTY: WHAT I DID WRONG AND WHAT I LEARNED (CONFESSIONS OF A SPACE CADET)

Puberty the first time around is hard but what if you go through it again in middle age? Voluntarily? Hormone Replacement Therapy has been a wild ride and - without a doubt - the first year was the hardest. I put this video together with the distance of time about things I learned and what I could have done different. I hope it helps!

Kate, thank you so much for openly sharing the experiences, challenges, nuances of your life and transition journeys! I especially appreciate insights from mature-age individuals like you and me. We share much in common, but our respective individual journeys also have unique attributes and distinctions. Congratulations on your short-list acceptance for bottom surgery at GRS Montréal (my hometown)! You and your journeys inspire me, Kate. Thanks! Gedi

What a beautiful story, this literally made me cry ... I reached the one year mark on HRT back in Oct and it has definitely been a wild ride, and I wouldn't trade it for the world! 💜

Thanks for watching. 😊

glad to see you again Kate! I always appreciate your take on things, especially around those first couple years. I just passed 1 year on HRT and the biggest hurdle has been working with my family who are accepting but clearly uncomfortable with certain aspects of my transition. I'm doing my best to deal with them from a place of patience and understanding but it's hard not to get angry sometimes and want to just walk away from all of it.

[@KateMadden]

Hey, thanks for the comment. Yes, it's hard to process the emotions or patience required when your brain is being rewired to operate correctly with HRT. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Thank you for the kind comment, I am glad it feels like that even on the other side of the world.

Spot on about the online trans community. I’ve had to pull back due to toxic effects to my mood.

[@ldswife5339]

Long time no see!

[@gwendolinegoetz9224]

The "mistake", I did: was to try to comply with trans community injunctions. It failed. I'm not trans enough. This makes my life really easier.

Thanks for watching, good luck!
