Physically, no. I mean, I was a fat, unathletic child prone to infections. I was briefly a fat, semi-atheletic adult prone to infections. I am now a fat, unathletic adult who no longer gets infections but has chronic pain and fatigue.

Mentally, yes. In spite of the fact that I didn’t really experience depression until adulthood, I wouldn’t trade my legal autonomy for childhood under my circumstances. I always wanted to be grown. I no longer have to put up with peoples’ bs and that is worth so so much.
