“Call me Oliver, or Olly. I always felt like a boy, I knew I was one, but I also knew I had a female body, that being a girl was what was expected of me, and at 5 years of age I had no way of articulating the tangled thicket of feelings inside. I grew up confused, with a sense of guilt and shame I couldn’t attach to anything specific. When I hit puberty, I became more and more disturbed by my body, its alienness, its needs and wants. Life felt incomprehensible, threatening. Sport and study became my ways of coping; for over a decade my body became my site of blame, by object of abuse. I’m 353 days on T. My mind and soul are the happiest they’ve been, but it is taking some long slow work to heal my body physically. “ – Olly (December 2015)
