My parents -- especially my mother -- swore to "leave no stone unturned" to make me into a boy but none of it worked. I can attest to the withdrawn and suicidal stuff -- first hung myself at age ten, tried shooting myself in the head when I was seventeen during my first (and last and only) summer vacation at home from university (the gun jammed), gassed myself with car exhaust three years later when my mother came and tried to force me to wear male clothing and wound up in the hospital in a hyperbaric chamber and then I was locked up in the mental ward for a week. I was XXY with undescended testes and small breasts and I was lucky enough to have them removed after graduation because I was a poor recent graduate and qualified for aid but they wouldn't do the full conversion surgery. It took me almost ten years of being in and out of work to finally to be able pay for it and I had to go out of the country.

My life would have been very different if my parents had accepted me as their daughter but they didn't -- "what other people would think" was more important. They couldn't be publicly seen to support my "sinful and disgusting" "lifestyle." Career and education outcome would probably be the same -- ten or fifteen years ago it wasn't possible to be a model like it is now but at least I'd still have a place to go back to when the weight of the world came down on me and I'd still have a family. I have neither.
