No. Everyone has their own way of transitioning and the steps they need or want to complete. Other than often certain steps are needed to have access to other steps informed consent can help get around early obstacles. I  agree that often therapy is a great early step because can help you all the way along as come across different issues or situations you are facing. Hugs

I am on the Resident Council here in my apartment building. It is a resident liaison group that brings complaints and such to management and helps management keep residents informed of policies and upcoming events. At our last Council meeting, we discussed putting in a community garden.

There is one about a block away that repeatedly gets trashed by homeless people. They leave trash and destroy the plants. So we plan to fence off an area only available to residents, and they must contact a Council member to gain access. We have funding for $5,000 for the garden itself, but the fencing falls under a "build" category because we need a property line survey, fencing permits, etc. We have requested the funding for the fence build, but won't receive those funds until later.

I will be curious to see how many residents make use of it. From what I have witnessed, many want a hand-out, not a hand-up. Especially if they have to put in some work to get anything. It is so sad.

Support groups / Re: Phoenix AZ?
Last post by Mariah - Yesterday at 10:39:33 PM
There are couple of different groups. One led by a therapist and the other one is peer to peer. Different resources in regards to doctors/ clinics in regards to trans care plus even a local surgeon. Plus other local LGBTQA+ groups in the area too. A few different therapists too. I would be glad to put a list together and then post in a spot that everyone can make use of. Hugs

Quote from: Robbyv213 on Yesterday at 08:17:25 PMHello everyone. I am just seeing if there is anyone here local ot phoenix Az and surrounding area. I have used Google to search for some resources here for us, but it seems very few and all located near the city center of Phoenix not so much any suburbs of Phoenix.

Any additional resources or local group meetings would be greatly appreciated. Also any suggestions for specific medical centers or doctors that are good or not afraid to help or give treatment.

Thank you

Robby

Maybe you can grow some veggies from seed to save on money?  Maybe use one of those indoor produce growing systems bought on sale?  Some places have community gardens too.

Buy the ugly looking produce to save money where it is available.  Just as fresh and nutritious, it is just not pretty.

Eat canned veggies when on sale or fresh produce in season?

I didn't see any Support Groups for that area, but if you do an internet search for "transgender care Phoenix AZ", the results show quite a few medical centers in the city.
