Interesting article, but one very significant detail just screams for clarification: Gillian/Gary claims that within months of taking the pills prescribed by his GP, he grew breasts and his beard stopped growing!!
Breasts in months in a male that has completed male puberty, unlikely, but maybe.
Beard stopped growing: never would happen, not even on pharmaceutical hormones. It seems an insignificant detail, but anyone who has transitioned would know the real deal since electrolysis is SO time consuming, painful and expensive, but an ESSENTIAL step in achieving passability.
This alone makes me suspect the whole story as sensational fiction to attract readers. But thanks for the interesting read.
