my friend starts in september. i dont really understand those long wait times. though i'm glad i didnt go because i would of been bumped up to a weeks wait due to already having my letter and therapy
That's great for your friend!

I'm sure it would've taken me a full year or longer and a ton of money to get even started on hormones due to the whole tedious process of finding a therapist, who might even have a waitlist, and have to wait many therapy sessions to get the letter. Gender therapists don't just hand you a letter right away, it's a minimum of 3 months, maybe even longer. Then there's the endocrinologist, who might also have a waitlist, that will still cost me a ton of money for bloodwork and the prescriptions. I have family insurance but I need to pay off that $1,000 deductible so it's still going to cost me quite a pretty penny and I'm unemployed.
That Callen-Lorde place has been a complete godsend so far, making it simple enough without all these obstacles in the way.
