Hi, Janette, I grew up right near you in Conroe my mom still lives on Lake Conroe but I moved away a long time ago. I'm 58 and have had gender dysphoria all my life. I first started seeing a therapist 14 years ago and after almost a year of therapy, I felt ready for homones. I still haven't had any surgery, but I feel so much better about my body after being on hormones.
