Title: so i found 2 therapists in my area i emailed
Post by: mellissa on November 09, 2011, 06:22:34 AM
So if the therapists I emailed treat transexuals I will be on my road to transitioning! I'm so happy and starting young gives me a great advantage. Sol I be able to get blockers on spot or will i have to wait? I say blockers because I'm to young for hormones I'm 18-2 that's my age

In most cases you'll need to go through therapy for three months before you get any hormone prescriptions.

Is this also the case for blockers?

It seems to be that blockers would be something that needs to start ASAP if you're already in puberty, and since all it really does is postpone the effects of T it'd seem harmless to me to be put on them sooner than that, and then have a lot of therapy before being put on actual hormones.

I don't know anything about this though (as it's not relevant to me), which is why I'm asking. Just curious.

I never agreed on the age rule for minors either, but the mods have the power. Stop saying it restlessly; they'll punish you.

Anyway, it's good that it's going forward.
