Rush me.

She needs it.

Yeah.

So, yeah, a lot of most trans kids would have hated that because I was still segregated and we did –

refer to our room well i i said also i'll be having phoebe stay in my room as well oh good she had a friend yeah i said i was putting laying down the laws yeah yeah it's gonna work yeah if you want me to attend it was kind of like a um it's kind of what i imagine my um manager does now yeah when she's like well she'll do this own room yeah yeah plus one yeah

i thought well i'm not taking the first offer no negotiate absolutely not yeah so then um we always refer to it as the segregation cabin i love that but we're quite happy for it yeah so school in summary awful parts awful parts but had really thick skin and i enjoyed parts of it too yeah you know it wasn't

I think most people would think it was absolutely traumatic and awful and bits of it were, but I'm so grateful for it.

Love you so much.

Yeah, love you too.

Okay, next one.

Hormones.

Do you take hormones and how does it affect your body?

Yes, so I do take hormones.

I started hormones quite late for a trans person.

Well, maybe I shouldn't say that.

Well, a lot of trans people want to start hormones before they go through puberty because when you go through puberty, you develop quite masculine features or very feminine features.

You know, that's when you start growing boobs and whatever.

So, yeah, a lot of trans people are very worried about going through the puberty of their biological sex.

And I went through male puberty.

And I just have always been very small and petite and quite feminine.
