Trangenderism and Suicide

I don't know why it should cost so much, maybe in your case, since you have a prescription, you could order from the internet. It shouldn't cost you more than $50 a month, possibly less if you find the correct sites.

$250 a month is outrageous considering the amount of money people make on average per month.

You're right; it's outrageous.

I suggested the same option to her.

Actually in the US, most do not start young.  It is not until recent years and the dawn of the internet has the average age of transitioners fallen significantly.

At 28, in the US, I am considered young transitioner.  The under 30 set here is still outnumbered by those transitioning in their forties and fifties and sixties, in significant numbers.

Those transitioning very young (under 19) has gone up significantly in the US in recent years.  But this is a RECENT occurance, and those transitioning while rapidly increasing, is still a subset.   

A big barrier to transitioning, is always money, and support.  The young ones only recently had any real support. 

It's the same in any country as to regards to finding money and support. I would think 28 was quite young and when I was 28 the internet didn't exist. Usually it takes a long time here in the U.K to fight through the barrage of psychiatry and psychobabble in order to access a clear route to some form of treatment. I've had to do it as and when I have the money which isn't often and I have been quite depressed at how long it's taken. I do panic sometimes and get upset at the lack of progression and support and I have felt suicidal on occasions. I usually cry for an hour and then I feel a bit better afterwards. To get from A to B isn't easy as you first imagine and any preconceptions of going through the process in 18 months have gone right out the window now that I'm in my 8th year of full time transition....and still no where near the finishing post..

Hi all,

Just a post as I have taken my topics and pic of the site. ...

hugs and kisses

Nigella

I received an email from Nigella today. She sends her regards "to the girls".

I thought you'd want to know.

Glad to see your face Nigella. I wish I could show you my face and then you'd see how far you along you are compared to me. 

You look wonderful!!!

Debbie

P.S I have job interview on the 16th of this month and then, hopefully, a follow up interview later in July. If this all works out I will be free to share more about myself and a picture, just like all of you very beautiful ladies.

I mean, I could buy a car for less than that!

Gee Chandra, when you look at it that way, giving up one really nice ride would be a very small price to pay I'd think for a lifetime of happiness!! You sure you can handle it? The happiness that is . . . 

Humor about things can be a good road to recovery, ya know.

Put it in gear and get going now (as it's never too late),

Love 

Thats true...

I figure now that so many people save up for a nice car, since they're all over the streets polluting the air, so it shouldn't be too hard to become who I should be if I put my mind to it. ^_^
