National magazine looking for transgenders who dieted before transitioning to female, or, who have bulked up before transitioning to male for a positive and inspirational piece on transgenders.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has been on a diet before transitioning. Perhaps you tried wacky and weird diets to shed the pounds. Perhaps you took more drastic action and had a gastric band fitted or had liposuction. Did your obsession with your weight go too far? Did you become anorexic? Perhaps you worked out every night at the gym or took bodybuilding drugs.

We will do a read back to make sure you are happy with the piece, but you must be willing to be photographed and identified.

Will pay an excellent fee for the right story!
