— "I'm still me, the core
personality hasn't changed dramatically, but
I've definitely been reshaped physically,
mentally, and emotionally by that wonderful
hormone we call T."
Cameron (38
years old)
— "I do not take hormones to appear
male, I am male. The hormones I take and the
surgery I have undergone are part of the
rehabilitative process for my medical condition.

Laurence (28
years old)
— "I take
testosterone to develop & maintain
secondary male sex characteristics, e.g. deep
voice, increased body hair, masculine body
shape. The end result of
taking testosterone for me is it enables
me to live as a man without having to explain
that I am ftm."
Kevin (29 years
old)
— "The hormones changed my internal
emotional world and I continue on this path
because I find that I am calmer and more
satisfied on several levels other than the ones
that started me out."
Lester (36 years
old)
— "Taking T is
the best thing that had ever happened to me.. it
was like coming home to myself...it has its ups
and downs and you get used to being a new person
and your own rhythms with this."
Craig (34 years
old)
— "There was no question for me
about commencing treatment. It just was to be. I
wanted the same hormone level that other men my
age have - I'm calmer, more focused and
authentic now."
Jamison Green

— "Testosterone won’t make you
into a man. That’s another head space that
hormones don’t control. If they did, there
wouldn’t be transsexuals!"
