4. Umm was born female

Apr 2021

Liked climbing trees,catching frogs,playing with trucks and male action figures,liked playing fort and attacking my enemies with invented weapons. Would play football in the mud.

I did not play with girls except for my cousin who liked playing the same way I did.

My body as it matured went haywire and my sex was wrong.
I had pms so bad I would wind up being admitted to the psych ward. I would get so angry I would bite chairs to keep control.

Than when the hormone balance changed the anger and suicidal was subsided.


My uterus bled like a stuck pig. My periods would sometimes last a whole month. One day it didn't stop bleeding and they took that damn thing out of me.

After a few days a calm came to me that I have never known.

As each part of the female body parts were removed I got calmer and could think clearer. No female hormones making me crazy.


Getting transgender surgery saved my ass.

All my childhood for all intents and purposes I was a boy and saw myself as a boy. I didn't know what transgender was but by 6th grade I wore boys clothes.

How much of it had to do with my brain? I dunno but early in my development as a fetus I was bathed in male hormones as my mom took testosterone to dry her breasts up after having my sister. She was not aware she was pregnant at the time.That probably affected my developing brain and body both..
