Nicholas Darroch, 21, who was born a little girl called Siobhan, has had his "transphobic" image of Middlesbrough altered after sharing his story about coming to terms with gender dysphoria with the Evening Gazette.
The symptoms include heavy sweating of palms and feet, tinnitus, dysphoria, muscle ache, stomach pain, diarrhea, severe vasoconstriction of peripheral blood vessels, anxiety and symptoms pointing towards psychosis, hypertensive crisis with blood pressures up to 245/165, red urine, and hyponatremia.
Born Siobhan, Mr Darroch always struggled to fit in and believed he suffered from gender dysphoria, where a person feels trapped in the wrong sex.
