Going to push for anything I can get, and I think I want to do injections. I hope yours goes great! I want to hear from you!!! And I’ll update too!!!

          Nice. I think I want to try sublingual. Have you heard of the shot helper thing? It’s a little spiky thing that is supposed to distract you enough to barely notice getting a shot. You can get them on Amazon, maybe pharmacys have them but idk.

    Massive congratulations are in order for ya, mate! No doubt you’ll find plenty joy in the future :) I’m personally still very new to this entire scene since switching to Lemmy and stumbling upon this lovely instance, and I am currently at the point of asking myself the big questions and figuring stuff out about myself. Learning plenty though, I must say! If you don’t mind me asking, was it a tough decision for you to make, or did it make crystal clear sense to take the step?

      It definitely wasn’t hard to make the decision. I knew I wanted to go on HRT shortly after I started questioning my gender. The year and a bit since then has just been making sure and getting the people around me used to the idea with mixed success.

      Something very important to remember is that everyone’s journey is different. Don’t think you need to fit in with the people who knew they were trans as a toddler, I certainly didn’t.

        A perfect answer as far as I’m concerned! I wasn’t necessarily worried about feeling like I wouldn’t fit in, but it’s still a healthy reminder regardless!

        I’ll keep sitting on that egg till the day I can face the answer with confidence :)

        Best of wishes to you! I hope the “mixed success” you mentioned was still quite manageable?

          Thanks. Yeah, fiancée while being supportive still took a bit to get used to it and my mom is struggling pretty hard with it but my brother is also trans so she is generally supportive. My grandparents are having a bit of an easier time with it but it’s still a shock. I am the older “normal” one. Haha not anymore!

        That’s not terrible! I had to wait longer to get into Planned Parenthood, but it was worth it. My PP is phenomenal. THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID! I hope your experience is as good as mine, because I have some very skilled nurses and providers, and that’s its own special treat.
