Many will say that from a young age, they felt they had the "wrong" gendered body. As secondary sexual characteristics develop, their misery grows. There is much depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide in this population.

Gynecologist: Your gynecologist will evaluate and treat your dysfunctional uterine or menstrual bleeding. If you are retaining too much fluid, a short term use of a mild diuretic may help you. Take a potassium supplement with them.
