Are those trusted therapists lol

Lol Idk how to work the chat thing its just a black screen

I live in CA, I have no experience with those therapists and I cannot endorse them.

Perhaps you should start a thread asking other members if they have contacted a therapist near where you are.

Chat should be up now....

I downloaded Icechat, added the susan's server, and log in through that application- it seems I'm having complications getting in through the forum navigation as well.

If you want to get set up through icechat you can PM me and I will walk you through.

SCALE

-> This situation
-> Super amazing
-> Amazing
-> Nice
-> Not bad

This is REALLY AMAZING. You are super lucky. You have a close to perfect body and your family is so nice, and you're so young. Keep moving forward... But keep in mind that I hate you. Just 'cause I'm jealous. D:

I'm lying. Anyway, yes, hormones must be started as soon as possible. Every month you wait is a great deal of effectiveness you lose at your age.

Yay!! That's wonderful mellissa, stay in school! - xo

So I'm thinking of starting hormones January would that be bad because i still need to find a therapists

If you could start hormones in January, it would be great. But just asking for hormones will not give them to you right away. It all depends on the therapist and doctor and such, but I started asking two years ago. I could only see the right psychiatrist in January this year. I still have nothing. Maybe I'm an extreme case, but keep in mind that you're most probably going to get stalled. So you should start to look as fast as possible.

Not gonna lie girl, I wish I looked half as good as you when I was your age (about 2-3 years ago lol). My body frame is like the exact opposite of yours!

Also your clothes look great. You must be way excited! Also if you can get those hormones soon. Male puberty is a bitch (or bastard maybe?), and the sooner you can kill that beast the better!

That's definitely an understatement right there.

Every day of my life I wish I would've had the guts to speak up before puberty hit me with a concrete brick. It's done so much damage and it's just gonna be a pain to fix it all.

Tell me about it . Though to be honest I think that I would have a much harder time getting people to believe me before puberty. I still remember when I wanted to transition before going to high school so it would be easier to be stealth. Oh well, time wasted isn't time to be dwelled upon I guess.

Lol yes! Shoppimg spree I'm so hapoy I can hust be like mom dad I need.to see a thrrapists and just come out its akot easier when you have support I thought I was going to be sad foreveer but once i heard we know your depressed we can tell I finally realized I have great understanding parents but Yall made me worry about hormones so now lol im having anxiety because I don't want my puberty to make me man like when I  need to stop is now when exactly would be the dead like for young 20? Or would it be harder when im 20 and start it now at 16

Sorry if some of my words messed up I'm on my phone

If you wait until you're 20 you'll probably have lost about 50% of the nice body features you have right now. I swear it's more than urgent.

Oh okay ill get a therapists starting monday but will they give me hormones the first day?

They won't, but the sooner you see a therapist, the sooner you will be able to start hormones so it's still good to go ASAP.

Oh, and by the way, you need to speak to a doctor as fast as possible, too. It's not therapists that prescribe, it's doctors.

When will they give me hormones? After a month or a year

They may be wary if there was not a 3 month trans experience precedent. A therapist gives this reassurance, but if you go in as a girl you can probably get them straight away with informed consent. Age might be an issue. Old rules have a habit of dying hard...
