Life prior to Treatment

Life before transition - I got wonderful life and awful life ..overall my life was ok, I enjoyed it (I didn't have any problem with my family due to my choice of life, they all accept me as I am)

My identity prior to transition - Butch, female on my id, but mostly people were mistaken with my appearance and I got deep voice naturally. They thought I was a male, so they called me "SIR"

The most common emotion for me was Anxiety, bustle.

No, I didn't consider suicide.

Attitudes of HealthCare Providers

Positive aspects of healthcare provider treatment

Thank GOD, all the people in health care matter that dealing with me on my transitioning are so good, and treating me as a person, got a good manner, they always pronounce me "HE" even before I got male id. That was the most helpful aspect for me. Tiring process (actually for surgery one) but make me very happy. Need extra patience for going through all the process. But it's very worth it.

Negative aspects of healthcare provider treatment

So far I've never got a bad treatment from them.
