In the documentary Boy I Am –about the relationship between trans men and lesbians– several people mentioned worries about teens getting hormone therapy: they said that every female-raised person goes through body issues during that period.

This bothered me a little since the people saying this, for the most part, were not trans. And it actually clashes with my own experience. I didn't grow up with any body image problems because, for most of my teen life, I've done a good job of ignoring my body.
