5. Umm was born female

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. That probably affected my developing brain.

Since testosterone is what makes a pregnancy test say you are pregnant and she was taking male hormones who knows how long I was getting dosed with testostrone
Before she figured out she was pregnant.
