1) What pronoun do you prefer to be addressed by? Do you prefer a name that is different from your given name at birth?
I use he/him/his, and have changed my name legally by deed poll.
2) How old were you when you first felt a difference between your biological sex and gender identity?
I don't know. I remember stuff from when I was in primary school. I only realised it was being trans when I was 18.
3) Who in your life has been the most supportive? Who could be more supportive?
My friends. My parents are not so supportive but they're better than I expected.
4) What is the biggest struggle of the transition process?
Having to wait for medical transistion. I want hormones, but the waiting list is two+ years before you even see a therapist, never mind actually getting hormones.
5) What is something you'd like more people to know about your experience as a transgender individual?
I'm not a freak, just treat me the same as you'd treat anyone else.
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!
Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.
RIP Granddad Terry. I'll miss you.
