Hi guys!

So for my first article I'm thinking about writing about problems that a transexual person might face and how they can overcome these problems. One of my roommates is a transexual whose doing hormone replacement therapy, and one of my friends transitioned from female to male last year via operation. So while I'm not trans myself, I have learned a lot about it from them.

I'm thinking of writing it with this outline:

Before Transitioning

• Coming to terms with defining one's gender

• Deciding to have the surgery done or having hormone replacement therapy

• Dealing with thoughts of why one wasn't born the "right way"

Recovering after operation

• Feeling like one may not have made the right decision

• How to comfortably transition

After Transitioning

• Dealing with how friends and family may react

• How to settle into one's new gender label

• Choosing new pronouns

• Confidentiality of transition when meeting new people and potential romances

• Feeling and finding acceptance

Does anyone else have anything I should add? Also if anyone has any experience with transitioning I'd like some input!
