on a more serious note though: After one month on HRT, I’m so happy that my second puberty is finally MY puberty. I can buy all of the silly games I want without having to beg for them, I can finally eat tasty food (not the slime my parents used to produced) even at 1 AM if I feel like it, I don’t have to endure judgemental comments 24/7. I still got a long ways to go, but just having true friends now for the first time in like a decade - so worth it.
