So since I was about 12 or 13, I've been tying to find a way to change at the very least my physical appearance that wouldn't involve my family finding out. I managed to repress this pretty well (with the exception of the bipolar disorder, anxiety attacks, and drug and alcohol abuse) until late last year when a friend came out to say that he was on HRT. I've known about MtF hormones for a little while at that point, but I was always scared that I would somehow fuck it all up. I just turned 21 last month and I honestly don't know what I identify as, my school's counselor does believe I suffer gender dysphoria, but he warns that is his inexperienced opinion. He recommended a clinic and associate of his, and I do believe that I would feel better if I started hormones, but I am also attached to my genitals. My friend says that there are varying shades of dysphasia and that's perfectly normal, but I don't want to go in there and have the doctor say no. Is my friend right or am I what because I'm honestly pretty worried about that situation. I am not worried about the emotional problems, nor am I opposed to the growth of breasts. or size loss and erectile dysfuction in my penis. From what little I've said, does hormones sound right? What are the risks vs. gains in taking hormones at my age? What exercise and diets will aid in my figure? I appreciate any help you can give.
Also, I live inbetween North Carolina and Tennessee, any advice on transitioning in red states?
