I am reliant on testosterone supplements even though I was born female and should react negatively to it. I have been both on it and off of it to know that my brain and body react better after taking my testosterone then being off of it for whatever reason.

I don’t know why this is but it’s the reality. Having normal hormone levels for a female/woman doesn’t work for me. This is not normal whatsoever.

To me this is what makes me a transsexual. Along with the distress that having secondary female sex characteristics bring.

Besides my chromosomes and my genitalia, my body reads male in every thing else.

Everything else about me; my sexuality, my preferences in hobbies/clothes/music/etc, and what I do with my body and life has nothing to do with being trans.

This sub has a lot of differential opinions on who’s trans and who’s not but as long as I’m reliant on having testosterone be the dominant hormone in my body when it should be the opposite, I’m a transsexual.
