For me, medically transitioning was like going through puberty for a second time, and it triggered me in ways I didn’t expect. My acne came back, my body changed, I grew hair in places it never grew before, I couldn’t get this “man scent” off, and so much more. But, as I celebrate 10 years of choosing to live authentically, I now realize that I should have been celebrating every one of those little moments, because they all add up to make me who I am today. In this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, I share more of my transition story and reflect on my journey so far.
