‘Back in 2010 my ex saw me putting on a pair of socks whilst I was sitting on the base of our bed, facing the mirrored wardrobe; she exclaimed “my god you’ve got tits”!” It was a result of self- medicating. A couple of years later I was eventually prescribed hormones and although I used oestrogen in pill form until gender reassignment surgery (GRS), afterwards I went onto transdermal patches: Everol 100. Unfortunately, I had a skin reaction and have since moved onto Oestrogel.’
