http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90782/7866164.htmlTony has experienced physical and emotional changes since taking testosterone injections 20 days ago.
The 24-year-old from Shandong's provincial capital Jinan, who refuses to give his Chinese name, says the pitch of his voice is now unstable. Facial stubble has started growing above his upper lip. And he's irritable.
But, despite feeling grumpier than usual because of the hormones, he's delighted with the changes.
"This is the first step to restore my true gender," Tony says.
"I'm not a tomboy, a transvestite or a lesbian. I'm a man born in a woman's body."
