I made pronoun bracelets to represent different pronouns. Green and blue for he/him, pink and purple for she/her, and yellow and orange for they/them. Wearing one bracelet indicates my pronoun choice, wearing multiple shows a combination. Today, I wear all three bracelets as my pronoun preference changed.

I still have my male anatomy, but I embrace femininity on my own terms. I don't desire to have a vagina or be like other women. I simply want to express myself in a feminine way.

I mostly feel feminine or non-binary, sometimes boyish. Today, I feel very femme and cat-like. I'm proud of my body but also have mixed feelings about it. Some days I want to hide my chest, other days I love it. I go through stages of feeling different genders.

We're starting the process with Ting, who wants a vagina. The network of moms is supportive. Nicole is a junior in high school, planning surgery between junior and senior year. She's doing great.

I went from identifying as a straight boy to a gay boy, then as a non-binary person, and now I identify as a trans straight woman. I have come to realize that I am actually a trans lesbian.

If someone desires female anatomy but does not have it, there is a surgical option available. This procedure involves inverting the penis to create a vagina.

I offer support to find gender affirming care for youth, even if they need to go out of state. If parents are unsupportive, some kids choose to get emancipated at 16 to make their own medical decisions. Dealing with transphobic parents can be tough, especially if they are very right-leaning. It's important to find a chosen family of friends who accept you. I can send you a binder discreetly if needed.

My pronouns are they/them, but for this meeting, I'm sharing that I use she/they/him. This often leads to complex discussions about gender, which we don't typically have. I once asked my father, "Do you know what it means to be a man?" He said no. Then, "Do you know what it means to be a woman?" Again, he said no. And that's where I'm at too. My womanhood isn't defined by childbearing or feminine behavior, and my manhood isn't about my genitalia. Understanding gender identity is a key part of being in the LGBTQ community.

I used to be an angry man online, but now I'm a proud trans lesbian thanks to Transition. It lets you live your fetish openly, excel in women's sports, and disrespect women without consequences. Transition disrupts your hormones and critical thinking. Side effects may include anime porn addiction, receding hairline, bad fashion, excessive masturbation, and lack of self-awareness. Not available in Florida or Texas.

Today is National Coming Out Day, and I'm excited to announce that I'm going back on testosterone. I loved being on it before, but needed to connect with my emotional body. I had to unwind trauma from being read as a man and sacrificing parts of myself. I now embrace my femininity and look forward to exploring it on a testosterone-dominant body. I feel a new wave of expression and excitement for this journey ahead. Cheers to new beginnings!

I believe transgenderism is a mental health condition, but I support open conversation. I met two young women who had regretted their decision to have surgeries as teenagers. I think adults should have the freedom to live as they choose, but we must protect children.

I decided to have gynecomastia surgery because I was tired of worrying about my appearance. After the surgery, my chest is healing well, although one nipple is healing better than the other. I noticed some firmness on one side compared to the other, but overall, I look natural and feel great. I struggled with excess tissue since I was 13, and despite my efforts to work out and diet, it never went away. After researching surgeons, I took the plunge, and the results have been life-changing. I no longer obsess over what to wear, which has given me a sense of freedom. Later, we chatted with an officer while heading to a gay bar, and he gave us a warning but declined our invitation to join us.

There is not one surgery that every transgender person wants. Many transgender people have no interest in having surgery. For other people, they undergo medical transition involving use of gender affirming hormone treatments. And for others, they may have one or more surgeries. They may have top surgery, which is surgery on the chest or breasts. They may have bottom surgery, surgery on the genitals. They may have facial feminization. Trans women may have a tracheal shave to reduce their Adam's apple. No two trans people have the same needs to resolve their gender dysphoria. So you can never make an assumption that any trans person wants any particular surgery or any surgery at all.

I love talking about what it means to be non binary. I'm non binary. And so I use they, them, their pronouns. So when we think about non binary, really what we're talking about is people of a variety of gender diverse identities that are outside of the typical traditional gender binary. Man and woman is typically what we think about as the gender binary. So non binary folks are those of us who live within that, outside of that, beyond it, and essentially transcend it in some way. So it might be folks that feel like they're a combination of masculine and feminine or that they're entirely outside of that construct or that context altogether.

I'm Livo, and I underwent top surgery 9 months ago. Getting ready used to be a struggle for me due to dysphoria, often leading to meltdowns. However, things have changed now, and it has become my favorite part of the day. Top surgery has been my most significant act of self-care.

Here's my transgender daughter, Bella. She was assigned male at birth but now uses she/her pronouns. We're working on getting her medication to block male hormones. Bella is 14 and doing well in her transition. Being trapped in the wrong body affected her mental health, but with medication, we'll get through it together. We also received a grant to cover her transition costs, which is a huge relief. She can finally be who she truly is, which is all she's wanted for years, and we're so happy for her.

I'm incredibly grateful to be living in this time, where I can fully embrace my gender transition. From hormones to laser hair removal, Botox, lip injections, and hair lowering, I appreciate the opportunities available to me. I truly feel thankful to be alive now.

Michigan Medicine strives to be a safe, welcoming place for transgender individuals and to provide excellent health care regardless of gender. The goal of this video is to improve the comfort and competency of frontline staff in caring for transgender individuals. We will start by talking about gender identity, challenges the transgender community has faced in the health care system, and Michigan's policies regarding gender non-discrimination. The second half of this training is job specific. To discuss gender identity, it is important to understand the difference between sex and gender. Sex refers to one's reproductive organs, native hormones, and chromosomes, while gender identity refers to one's internal sense of gender, a person's basic sense of being a man or boy, a woman or girl, or another gender. Gender identity can be expressed by how individuals present themselves socially, including clothing, physical characteristics, speech, and mannerisms. All people, whether they are transgender or cisgender, meaning not transgender, have a gender identity and expression. Transgender is a term for individuals whose gender identity differs from the gender identity typically associated with their sex assigned at birth. There are many identities that fall under the umbrella of transgender. Transgender men, trans men, or trans masculine refer to people who are assigned female sex at birth but identify as men or masculine. Transgender women, trans women, or trans feminine refer to people who were assigned male sex at birth but identify as women or feminine. Other individuals may identify as genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, two spirited, bigender, or another identity that does not fit neatly into the categories of men or women. All major American medical societies, including the American Medical Association and American Psychological Association, endorse gender affirming care as the standard of care for transgender individuals. This means caring for people in a way that supports their gender transition and gender identity. Transgender people may undergo any one of a number of gender affirming medical interventions, including hormonal therapies like estrogen, testosterone, or hormone blockers, and surgical treatment to change body contours or genitalia. However, it is important to note that one does not have to undergo any medical or surgical treatment to be transgender. Some people are easily read as the gender they affirm while others are visibly gender non conforming or androgynous appearing.

I administer my weekly estrogen shot using two needles and half a milliliter of estradiol. I carefully clean the area with an alcohol wipe and then inject the medication into my thigh. I always make sure there is no blood and then apply a band-aid for cleanliness and to ease my anxiety. I keep all my supplies organized, including different needles, medication, and a prescription, especially when I travel. This self-care routine is crucial for my mental health and gender affirmation.

Here's my transgender daughter, Bella. She was assigned male at birth but now uses she/her pronouns. We're working on getting her medication to block male hormones. Bella is 14 and doing great in her true body. Being trapped in the wrong body really affected her mental health, but with the right medication, we'll get through this together. We even received a grant to cover all the transition costs, which is a huge relief. All she's wanted for years is to finally be herself, and we're so happy for her.

I haven't fully explored my career because I've been living in the wrong body. Until recently, I was hiding my true self as an actor, focusing on portraying characters. Now, I'm thrilled to finally have the opportunity to play female roles.

I regret getting a sex change. My hole is infected and smells terrible. I feel like taking my own life. I think I'll get more attention than gay people. Some men can become women by trading their genitals, but it's not worth it because it smells bad. There's a global mission to change genitals, even for minors. I used to be named Craig, but now I'm a new girl with a Y chromosome. I got brainwashed by the internet and now I'm stuck with this regret. I should have just stayed gay.

If you're transgender or nonbinary and feel uncomfortable with your puberty experiences, you're not alone. Puberty blockers can temporarily halt the changes caused by hormones like testosterone and estrogen, giving you more time to figure out your gender identity. It's okay to not have all the answers right now, as understanding yourself takes time. Talking to a trusted adult, nurse, or doctor can be helpful. To learn more, visit plannedparenthood.org/teens.

I want to share a personal message to show that being transgender doesn't hinder military service. I take my estrogen, blockers, and other medications, but it doesn't affect my ability to serve.

I am a transgender man and I want to discuss the role of testosterone in defining masculinity. I have struggled with my identity and felt unhappy as a woman. However, I have come to accept myself as a valid man, despite having female anatomy.
