Hey, my name is Lewis and I'm 15. I started transitioning in 2015, started Testosterone in July of 2017 (I lowkey don't remember the date tbh) and got top surgery June 6th of this year. I'm not super into any band or fandom (had my emo/edgy phase 4 years ago and I'm def not gonna revisit it) but I do really like soccer and folk music (weird interests, I know). I just joined this website as like a member or whatever (??) to get advice on my surgery recovery but I've been using it pretty regularly for years. As someone who's been out for a quarter of my life now, I'd love to give what advice I have to younger queer/trans kids (and I can't do anything physical yet so I'm hella bored), especially on religious matters (as a practicing Jew).

Hi Lewis I'm a 14 nearly 15 year old boy who is really thinking about transitioning but have only started thinking about it recently. I have come out as bi to my parents and have told them that I'm thinking about this but no-one else. Do you have any advice?
