Starting T… but then Stopping after 1.5 Months

Yes, I finally began medical transition. Right at the start of March 2021, I had my appointments with a psychiatrist and an endocrinologist.

Leaving My Job amid the Pandemic

Of Miracles and Men

Do you believe in miracles? Do co-incidences ever strike you as magical?
