A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

To make such a request, at the start of the body of your post, not in the title, the first line should look like the this: [Requesting Engagement from _________]

I've had this appointment scheduled for months, and I am nervous but also very excited. It's finally happening!

My intake appointment was one of the best, most validating conversations I ever had, even though I couldn't actually start anything due to health issues. I hope it feels just as welcoming and comforting for you!

I'm glad it went so well for you, despite not being able to actually start HRT. I also have a few health issues, is it possible I will be ineligible for gender affirming care?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think so. It wasn't that I was ineligible, I just decided that the time wasn't right because I want to be in a more stable place in my health before I added more potential stressors. It was choice I made, not one they forced on me.

Oh gotcha, that makes sense. Your health is most important. I hope you're doing better now! Thank you for your reply!
