    If she's in the US, there are states where you can just go to planned parenthood, say you're feeling gender dysphoria and want hormones, and they'll prescribe them for you.*

    *May no longer be true with the damage the Trump admin is doing to trans healthcare.

    Where I lived it went, intake, two weeks later hormones. My experience was unusual and most are around a year like you.

    I think it's okay to ask for psychologic treatment for a year, it's something I'd just do anyway, but what is an endocrinologist going to do for a whole ass year? It's weird and makes no sense

    Nah, fuck the cis, if they want to purposely go through the wrong puberty I don't give a shit. Anything slowing trans people from getting their meds sucks.

    Also I remember you saying to me before that my post could have been from you 7 months earlier,since you are clearly my future self you should tell me what I have in store the next 7 months, and maybe the winning lottery numbers

    uhhhhhh... this is the bit of your life when you realize that although transitioning was an immense step in self improvement, there's still a lot wrong with you internally and you still have a lot to work on. You get angry and frustrated by this until you start "talking with" ancient gods in a rhetorical sense until it stops getting rhetorical and starts getting literal. you'll then have a moment with what feels like talking to someone/thing supernatural and dive head first into some obscure quasi religious practice

    you'll also come out at work, which you'll be going into expecting one hell of a fight but being pleasantly surprised with how relatively easy it was. customers will still misgender you regularly for an unfortunately long time, despite your best efforts

    Yeah that all sounds like a possibility. I was going to say thankfully I work without actual coworkers and not in customer service anymore but unfortunately I probably am picking up a second job at some point to be able to save up . Haven't had interactions with spiritual entities since my psychadelic days but you never know
