The 15-year-old from Melbourne, Australia, told BuzzFeed News her friends are worrying about other teenage things: "School, life, tests, everyday stuff. Boys!"



But Olivia, who is transgender, is worried about the family court process she needs to go through before she can start taking oestrogen, which will propel her body into female puberty.

"It feels like I had to grow up way too quickly. I didn't have time to just be a child, have fun," she said.

Olivia is currently on puberty blockers that stop her body from going through male puberty. But her body can't stay on hold forever.



"It feels very stressful, because it feels like the time is constantly ticking down," she told BuzzFeed News. "If I go through [male] puberty, that will massively damage my mental health."
