Milo's Pov
It's been a year now since I came out as transgender and I couldn't be happier, I always knew I was different like I was trapped inside the wrong body. I first came out to my friends and then my family when I was 15, I was extremely nervous to tell them but in the end, they were all surprisingly supportive. My parents started to use the correct pronouns and started calling me Milo and were very understanding of my name change. I still remember the time when they got me my first binder and told me that I could get my first fade. I was in my room when I heard my mom call me downstairs, as I was making my way downstairs I saw my mom and twin brother sitting on the couch with a package and smiles on their faces.
"What's that," I asked curiously, wanting to know what was inside.
"It's your binder that I had ordered for you," she said smiling brightly at me
I smiled and quickly took the package from her and immediately opened it and looked inside. I just stood there with my mouth wide open and tears forming in my eyes. I was so happy that I ran into her arms and hugged her tightly.
" That's not all, your brother is going to take you to get your first haircut" she continued.
" I-I, uh, I don't even know what to say," I said as more tears were coming down my face.
They both hugged me, Leon said "I love you, bro, along with my mom saying "I love you son"
Today's the last day of me being pre-t, my doctor called my parents yesterday and told them that I've been approved to take Testosterone so I'll be getting my shot today and see how it's done. "Milo, get up and get ready, your appointment is in an hour," my twin brother Leon said, banging on my door knocking me out of my thoughts.
"Ok, no need to bang on my door bro". I yelled but not too loudly.
I got out of my bed and headed to my bathroom to shower, after showering and brushing my teeth I went to my closet and chose my outfit. I decide to go with my blue Texas baseball shirt and dark blue washed-out denim jeans with my blue and white Jordan's. I finished dressing, grabbed my watch and wallet, and made my way downstairs into the kitchen.
"Morning peeps," I said to everyone while going to grab some fruit
"Morning," everyone replied
"Lo are you excited for your first shot of T today," my mom asked while she flipped the pancakes. My mom calls me Lo for some reason I don't know why except when she's mad at me she calls me Milo but only she can call me Lo.
"I'm kind of nervous about getting the shot but excited at the same time, I'll be the man I've always wanted to be. It would be great if Leon would hurry his ass up so I don't be late" I slightly yelled so that he would hear me
"Milo language!" mom said smacking me at the back of my head
"Ow mom dang you didn't have to hit me so hard," I said rubbing the back of my head, while my dad and baby sister laughed at me.
"Well don't be cussing in my house then if you don't wanna be smacked"
Not long after, Leon came downstairs. After eating breakfast both Leon and I said bye to mom and dad and kissed Gia on our way out. We got into the jeep and drove off. Since I was nervous I decided to listen to some Gooba by 6ix9ine to pass some time. We had finally arrived at the doctor but before I got out I took some deep breaths and then headed towards the building. When we entered we went to the receptionist and I told her my name and she told me to have a seat and my doctor will call me. A few minutes later while I was scrolling through social media my name was called.
"Jade Foster '' I cringed, not liking or to be called my dead name, my name hasn't been legally changed to Milo yet but people still call me Milo. Leon patted my back and we both got up. We followed the lady and she showed us a room and told me to go in and sit and my doctor will see me soon. A few minutes later my doctor came in.
"Hey Milo, so today you will be getting your testosterone shot." She said looking down at her papers
"Yup," I said, still kind of nervous because of the needles.
"Ok so as you know you have to be on testosterone for the rest of your life are you ready for that?" She asked, ensuring I was ok with it.
"I'm ready and happy with my decision" I smiled confidently
"Ok let's get started"
Dr. Martinez got an alcohol pad and gently rubbed it on my upper thigh to sanitize the area where I will get the shot, she inserted the dose into the needle and flicked the top of it a little.
"Ok so you will feel just a little pinch now," she said while looking at me
I nodded my head preparing myself for the shot. When she inserted the needle in my leg I didn't feel a thing, after she was finished she threw it away and cleaned the area. When she was done she told me how to properly take the shot and when I need to do it at home, she also wrote my prescription and dosage to go and collect. When we left the doctor we got my prescriptions and left. Leon decided to stop at Little Caesars for something to eat since we were both hungry, we finished up and headed home.
"So how do you feel?" Leon asked opening the front door
"I feel happy, I don't feel depressed about my voice dysphoria anymore"
"That's good I'm happy for you, I love you, bro," he said looking at me with teary eyes pulling me into a hug.
"I love you too man," I said, hugging him back tightly and also crying now. After our little moment, I went upstairs to my room and changed into something more comfortable. Since we have a basketball court in our backyard I decided to go and play some ball. I did some free throws and layups until I got tired.
Finishing up my last shot. I went inside to my room, I took off my sweaty clothes and threw them in my basket and got in the shower. After getting out of the shower and drying myself off I got dressed in my boxers and sports bra. I got on my bed and put my phone on the charger. "I'm finally becoming the real man I've always been," I thought before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
