Trans femme, leaning towards enby?
I want to see how I feel on HRT but it feels so far away... very much want to move away from my current state before starting to "really" transition.
There's always going low dose and ramping it up when you leave. Low dose is more gradual and less people will notice as quickly, and you may get some of the mental health benefits from it.
I'd like to but it would very much impact my job and, depending on the next president, put a big ass target on my back (health insurance through gov employment).
DIY maybe? Sounds hard, sorry you're in that situation
It's fine tbh, not like male puberty hasn't already had its way with me. Costs me little to nothing to wait, and this job is being great for experience building. Already made it this far 😜 Plus I'm ALMOST at the 3 year mark, which I'm told can make getting hired for gov jobs easier in the future.
Edit: in the mean time I can lose weight and get a bit more fit, develop good exercise habits, eat healthier, etc.
Way to relatable. Was thinking I'd like to build up some more savings, so I don't have to worry as much about finances. But thinking maybe I should just try.
