Case in point: True Flavors in Durham, NC. Very good, but you just feel bad about yourself afterward.

I started HRT in Feb 2022. I've had it better than most, but it's still been hard at times. We were worried about how things would go as a family, and we had to leave Texas for Illinois so my family and I could be safer. Still, I am so glad I decided to embrace who am I, and I am never going back.
