Ashley Hemming, a 22-year-old from Worcester, experienced taunts and mistaken identities due to his diminutive stature and effeminate voice. However, after receiving a diagnosis of male hypogonadism in August 2020, he began hormone injections. Over four years, Hemming has grown five inches, developed facial hair, and his voice has deepened, boosting his confidence and eliminating the misgendering he previously faced.
