Title: Starting HRT for MTF
Post by: DreamingFuture on July 11, 2013, 05:39:59 PM
Hello guys im new here to the forums im very new to everything actually but im looking to start HRT as soon as possible im 21 and i feel the sooner i transition the better my results and i would feel. I have been living in my opposite gender for about a year i have a stable job fund raising i have no embarrassing moments where i present my ID and have problems with managers discriminating. I also have a supporting family and friends im somewhat passable when i am not wearing anything showing my broadness and my voice is very passable however i am just at the point where i feel i am ready for this but i have NO IDEA! where to start. I contacted several GID therapist who gave me different information each time an prime example the first therapist i contacted told me the 3 month HRT letter is no longer required since most of her patients want the letter for a one time fee however she keeps advising me to do therapy but im not financially setup that well for such expensive sessions. All in all i need help from someone! Anyone i feel this is my year and im ready to shine!

Sounds to me like you are more then ready, do you, I second the motion to get ur letter!!! When I started "officially" i just talked with my GP and he gave me a letter to an endo, and that was that! Best of wishes, and welcome :)
