on January 21, 2009, i had my first endocrinology appointment at Boston Children’s Hospital with Dr. Norman Spack. that day, at 17 years old with my mom beside me, i received my first dose of testosterone. i was home by noon, and begged my mom to take me back to school for the final two class periods so i could share my joy with my closest friends. i often regarded that day as one of rebirth - joking that i was an Obama baby as it was just after his inauguration, as some may remember from my very first YouTube video :)

today is February 23, 2018 and i am over 9 years into my physical transition from female to male. this hasn’t always been joy and smiles and hope and optimism - there were days i didn’t know i would make it through the pain, dysphoria, barriers to mental and physical health, amongst just being a teenager navigating life. however, in the end - i wouldn’t trade anything.

my smile is genuine when it reaches my lips. my laughter comes from my belly. i can cry whether i’m overwhelmed with joy or overcome with sadness. i feel whole and infinite. my physical journey has definitely contributed to a lot of this wholeness, and i want to thank Boston Children’s Hospital, especially Dr Spack, Dr Pilcher, the whole GEMS clinic (which started right when i got there - one day a month - and now is over two full days a week to help young trans kids !!!) and Francie who has helped inspire my career as well ❤️?

today, i “graduated” from Boston Children’s Hospital, aka i’m 26 now and usually they move folks out after 24 ? it was a warm and loving goodbye as they drew my blood underneath Dr Seuss drawings.

today, i gifted all my doctors a copy of my book - letting them know that many of my dreams had come true thanks to their facility and kindness. i teared up as my doctor told me about the many kids who come in to see her now who mention they had seen my videos and were inspired by me. for those of you whom that’s the case - YOU inspire me too. .

what a blessed life to feel better and better in my skin, from my first shot on T (left pic) and until now and beyond (right pic, ignore my stache i’m trying out lol)
