Fuck. I just wish human growth and development class had some basic education on trans people. I don’t expect them to spend an entire day on it. But how about 10 minutes in the middle of a class? Just something like, “there are some people who don’t identify…” and then some discussion about how the T or E hormonal paths can be altered. How it is possible to basically choose which puberty you have. They taught me that testosterone would change my body. They didn’t teach me that the testosterone process could be interrupted, and I could choose to go down the estrogen path instead.
