two transgender characters i've made..

I've made two transgender characters (ftm and mtf)because I don't want to feel alone, and it also makes me feel better.I was also thinking of making a story different from my other stories.
------
here are the two of them:

Name: Surayyi (Ivan) M. Al-Salah
Age: 20 (now)
Nationality: Saudi
Languages Spoken: English and Arabic
Religion: Muslim
Currently Living in: California                                                                                          

Bio: Surayyi is a FTM(female-to-male) which means that he was born a girl, but identifies as male.He was raised by a small Muslim Saudi family, which were his parents, his brother, and two sisters.When he came out(at around 13) to his parents, he was immediately kicked out of the house. Surayyi lived in the streets for about 2 weeks until his grandma found him.Then during the first week living with his grandma, he told her what happened and how he ended up out in the streets.Amani (Surayyi's grandma) did accept him for who he was and did all she could to help him transition such as changing his birthname.Although Surayyi went through many hardships such as discrimination, he atleast had Amani by his side.Usually he was called "the boy in the scarf" because he always wore a keffiyeh around his face.By the time Surayyi was 16, Amani saw her grandson was now starting to struggle passing, so she got him on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy, obviously Testosterone). Right after that, Surayyi lived a regular life like any other guy would.In the time he was 20, he got the surgeries he needed in order to be complete, then his grandma changed his papers to what he currently is now.Months of living happily later, a tragic event happened. Surayyi's grandma Amani died from a heart attack and that affected him in such a way that he feels broken.Right after his grandma's funeral, he was the one maintaining the house such as paying the bills.He now lives once again, a regular life.


Name: Carmen V. Fernandez Guerrero
Age: 20 (now)
Nationality: Argentina
Languages Spoken: English and Spanish
Religion: Catholic
Currently Living in: California                                                                                        

Bio: Carmen is a MTF(male-to-female) which means she was born a boy, but she identifies as female.She was born into a family from Argentina.Before she came out to her parents, her parents thought she was acting strange until the day she came out of the closet.When she did, she was lucky that her parents accepted her for who she really is.And just like Surayyi, she went through many hardships.For Carmen, it was much harder since she couldn't express her true self that much, sure she did wear girl clothes but she couldn't wear skirts even when she wanted to since it wasn't allowed in society.She might as well say that Surayyi is lucky at times.Her mother Esmeralda helped her with all she could to transition.By the time Carmen turned 16, she got herself into HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy, obviously Estrogen) along with her parents' and older sister's help.She felt happy about it, but like always, dysphoria has to take over. When she was 20, she got all the surgeries she needed.Her parents still loved her no matter what.She is now living as the happiest woman she has ever become.

Both Surayyi and Carmen went to the same school and they did meet at some point.They started out as friends, but then they went from ye old friend zone to a boyfriend-and-girlfriend relationship.Some drama happened for sure.They also got to know eachothers' families.It was quite a coincidence that they lived next to eachother.Usually during the afternoon, Carmen along with the other girls watch Surayyi and the guys play basketball or any other sport or activity.Through out the years Surayyi and Carmen had an amazing relationship together, infact it was a "serious" one.Right now, they are living happily together and enjoying their love life and happily married.
