I heard this in the car on the way to my voice lesson, and it really stuck a chord with me. I just was wondering what you all would have to say about it.

The part I'm talking about starts at about 29:13ish, but I'd reccommend listening to the whole thing--it's on love and it's so good.

I love hearing stories like this, it makes me so happy to hear that these kids are able to get out of the hell of the wrong sex so early. If only I would have said something earlier. They talk about pronoun use, reminds me of my family; unless Im going to school I dress 24/7 yet my parents refuse to stop calling me "boy" and "son", my mom says she cant stop because she only remembers me as a little boy and she cant forget about it, even though I hated those times.
9 months out
8 months therapy
2 month full time (besides school)
In 2-4, hormones.
