00:04 wanted to accomplish with transitioning, and within 30 minutes of a Zoom conversation,

00:13 I was on the hormones for about 15, 16 months.

00:35 I was never sent there in the first place because first I had to be sent to a clinical

00:43 psychiatrist or a psychologist who would then send me there, but I never got to speak to

01:33 I liked how healthy my skin and my hair was.

01:37 I liked having no sex drive at all.
