>About 10 months ago, I figured out that I wanted to start hormone replacement therapy and in that way medically transition. There were many reasons for this decision, but one of them was the realization that growing up Israeli and trans in Jerusalem while being expected to become a Zionist man left an aftermath in my body. I needed help to heal, and sensed that growing a rounder, more tender body would help me connect with the justice-loving feminine child inside of me, and that having such a body would help me grow from that soft place.

This says "my taking hormones I will grow tits and hips and also become soool girly, and your physical body is what changes your mind on things."

The classic excuse to transition is to make your outside match your inside, but the author is saying they want to change their outside in order to change their inside.

She's going through a second puberty, if you don't allow a 30 year old male to act like a slutty school girl from a hentai game then you want to put foids back in the kitchen. They missed out on receiving horrific trauma and abuse in their teens, a foid like you wouldn't understand how invalidating that is.
