00:00 Yesterday, we watched how to make a clean and low voice.

00:05 Now, in the second part of our New Me Docuseries,

00:08 we will see what the body does to achieve the transformation that we are hoping for.

00:13 But remember, you should always consult an expert.

00:16 Here is my story that you should know.

00:18 For some members of the LGBTQI+ community,

00:25 aside from being accepted by society, the body should also be adjusted.

00:31 That's why 19-year-old Jay has undergone several surgeries to look like a woman.

00:36 I'm Jay and I identify as a transgender woman.

00:40 Jay's parents only found out that she is a trans woman when they discovered the drugs she was taking.

00:50 At first, they didn't accept me, but eventually, when it took longer,

00:56 it was okay for them.

00:59 For me, it's not that I'm too young.

01:00 I regret that I started when I was 17 because I wanted to start when I was younger.

01:04 I could really get the full effect.

01:06 Gender-affirming hormonal therapy is a process where the physical body is changed

01:12 by injecting or taking steroid hormones to match the chosen gender identity or identity.

01:19 I grew up with a breast and then my body became a female.

01:25 I didn't wear a male clothing back then.

01:28 I had a lot of male clothing.

01:30 It was really hard for me because I didn't feel like I was in the beauty standard of trans communities.

01:39 Within two years, I had Jay injected with steroid hormones twice a week.

01:45 According to obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Ivy M. Buscado,

01:49 steroid hormones have an effect on the physical body of a person.

01:54 If we give this to a male, they will have a thickening of hair,

01:59 clearing of skin, and the deposition of muscle mass.

02:04 Their hips will widen, their breasts will become bigger, and their balls will become thinner.

02:10 Jay's parents' home is far from the hospital.

02:13 Originally, it's from Surigao del Norte.

02:16 So, the internet is weak there.

02:20 We don't know about endocrinologists, doctors.

02:23 But I research what medicines I should take.

02:29 That's why her friend who is taking a course in medical technology

02:32 is the one who is injecting steroid hormones to her.

02:36 It's I-N, so it's intramuscular.

02:39 Either here in your waist or here in your legs, where there are muscles.

02:44 We don't have strict guidelines.

02:46 If they're taking it, if it's oral, they can take it, but they have to monitor the dose.

02:52 For injectable, it should be a doctor.

02:55 For our case, the only FDA indication is to give it to menopausal patients.

03:02 The bad effect that happened to me, to my body,

03:05 I suddenly had mood swings, I had a headache,

03:11 and when I wake up, I feel dizzy and dizzy.

03:14 It's like your maintenance.

03:16 Because when it stops, your testosterone level will go back.

03:19 It's a continuous treatment.

03:22 Because you're reversing the natural hormone in your body.

03:27 I'll become a zombie.

03:29 For those who want to look like a woman,

03:31 it's possible that they will experience the effect of taking or injecting steroid hormones.

03:36 The problem is, if you give it to transgender, they could have infertility.

03:41 Because they also take anti-androgen, anti-testosterone.

03:46 Its long-term effects are cardiovascular, it could affect their heart,

03:50 it could lead to depression if they don't worry.

03:54 Currently, Jai is also showing signs of movement and shrinking her arms.

04:00 In total, Jai spends P10,000 to P13,000 per session

04:05 on the desire to become a woman.

04:07 Accepting the exchange of intimacy is not easy,

04:12 especially the decision to change the physical body.

04:16 Ensuring the safe passage of the process

04:19 so that the expected change is more worthwhile.
