If you could take a time warp and go have a conversation with your child self...what would you tell you? I would tell me that no matter what live your life. Dress in pretty clothes if you want..and put on makeup...and also...talk to mom about getting hormones earlier or at least anti t blockers...

If I could I would talk my younger self to keep going forward when I first tried to transition.  I would be so totally done now.

Yeah, talk to parents sooner and transition in my teens, lol.

yeah, i bet that telling what we are and to talk with parrents asap is pretty much what everyone would do, too bad we cant eh? : \

Here, take these pills and don't tell anyone about them. 

Seriously, If he could see me as a woman I wouldn't need to tell him anything except the he is a wonderful person who is loved and to never give up fighting for what he knows is right.

Save up money, invest in Microsoft and a few other good companies and leave home as early as possible

Yeah, that's what I thought too VM, buy microsoft, intel and apple at the initial offering.

OK, I hope this doesn't sound too pathetic, but I'd tell him not to lose hope, it gets better, eventually.

1. Don't take no crap from John Randall (My first therapist when I was 16). Instead stick to your guns and you'll have SRS before you become an adult instead of waiting until your early twenties.
2. Don't leave the BBC.
3. Have a nice life - the rest of it was all good.

Oh and if you want to be well off in old age DON'T put all your money in the stock market in 2007. I lost over $250,000 in about 6 months.

Dont waste time with dreaming about miracles and fairy tales.

you're normal.

Yeah that kinda goes with the entire train of thought that when you found out that Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy were all things your parents made up to make you behave in a certain way, that's the day you should have rethought the entire Jesus thing too.

I would open my past self's eyes and make her transition before 18!!!!! lol. Course it would screw everything up because I wouldn't be in the place I am for having $$ for transition and surgery but you know A girl can dream.

The world stops being terrifying when you stop acting like someone you're not.

I would come to him as a woman and I would say: "Enjoy yourself now, play with your girl cousins if you want to. You will come to a very important realization early in your teen years that you absolutely have to see through. Take advantage of the fact that you have supportive parents, please don't be scared."

"Also: Take all of your money and jump on the Google IPO."

Just shut your eyes... find that quite space...and learn to trust your 'inner' voice....

its your guiding light.....the compelling beacon of truth....

and never let 'anyone' ever deter you or stray from it....

I wouldn't, because I think I'd screw everything up. Things happened like they did, and they've helped shape me into who I am today.

If I told myself, say, 'Don't buy World of Warcraft', there's a good chance I'd have not truly discovered all this stuff about myself.

I'd say that not all boys wish they girls.  You can be one if you want, you just have to say something.  Oh yeah, save your allowance and buy a bunch of apple stock.
