I started my medical transition 9 years ago and am still a happy, healthy transgender man of 32 years old. I’m forever grateful to my state for continuing to provide safe, accessible gender-affirming care. Knowing that I have doctors I can rely on, and a state that cares about me and my family, has allowed me to flourish as my best self. And because of that, I was able to build my life the way I wanted, with a family and a home and a good career. My gender-affirming care allowed me to be the best version of myself. I thank the doctors and LGBT equality groups and supportive New Jersey legislators who helped me get to where I am now.
