“When I came out, people refused to believe I was a man because of how “feminine” I presented for 18 years”

He started by cutting his hair and wearing men’s clothes, then progressed to testosterone treatment

    How Long Would It Take to Fully Complete FTM Transition?

    How long it takes to go through a full FTM (female-to-male) transition can differ for each person and depends on various things. The process has different stages: social, medical, and legal. Social changes, like using a new name and pronouns, can start quickly whenever someone feels ready. Medical changes, including taking hormones for masculinization, can take several months to years for the effects to appear fully.

    World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) says that hormones usually bring noticeable physical changes in 1 to 2 years. Still, it might take up to 5 years for the most difference. Chest surgery and genital reconstruction are significant steps. These surgeries usually happen at different times and need extra time to recover.

    Remember, not everyone going through an FTM transition will do all the available procedures, and the timeline is different for everyone. Some might skip certain parts of the process, while others want to do more. Talking to experienced healthcare professionals about transgender care is essential for getting personalized advice and support during the gender change journey. You can expect many different reactions to a person coming out, and that’s hard enough.

    After 2 years of hard work, Jaimie has transformed himself into the man he’s always been at heart

    “I’ve lost my family and most of my friends since I started my transition but in the process I’ve found out who really cares about me”

    Ironically, he’s been accused of being ‘too masculine’ and “trying too hard to be like a cisgendered male”

    Can the FTM Transition Be Reversed?

    According to UCSF, hormone therapy can lead to changes that can be undone. However, it’s another case with surgeries. Once done, usually, it can’t be reversed. It’s important for someone thinking about a gender change to talk to doctors who specialize in transgender care so the patient can understand what each step means for them.

    Remember, deciding to go through any part of the FTM transition is a big deal and needs careful thinking about what’s right for you. Being open and honest with doctors is essential so they can give you the best care and support during your gender transformation journey.

    His response on Instagram, where he now has over 300 thousand followers, sent out a powerful message

    “Not everyone has to show ‘signs’ to be transgender. You don’t have to pass a test to prove you’re trans…”

    “And you sure as hell don’t need ANYONE’S approval but your own”

    “This life is about finding yourself and becoming YOU. No one’s journey is the same…”

    This inspirational man is shutting down stereotypes, and his self-confidence is absolutely infectious!

    So desperately sad his family have abandoned him- I lost my son through ill health and if he had told me he needed to do this I would still,have loved him. They don't know how lucky they are. Bless you and I wish you every happiness in the world!

    You are a wonderful person, Margaret!! My mom and dad were parents to so many of my friends who were disowned for being LGBT. I wish that they could have had a mom like you! Your son was blessed to have you! *hugs*

    I will never understand a parent giving up on their child because of this or being gay or the like. Never would that cause me not to love any one of my 3 kids. How could I?? I made them, they are part of me, my blood and flesh. So sad for these young people who need their family and friends to be there to help support them.

    Neither will I. You just abandon 18 yrs (or less or more) of care and love with the blink of an eye, just because they don't love like you want them to? I'm not religious, but if there were an afterlife, I sure as heck wish those parents to stand before their godlike entity and be demoted to scrubbing the underside of their god's shoes! I can understand a lot, but I will never understand someone willingly shutting out their children for something ridiculous as this.
