Seriously: Where the hell do people get HRT in like 3 months or so? Here it takes around 10-12 months waiting on a list to get HRT.

Weil i was living as a woman for about a year bevor even starting to try and get hrt, because I wanted to be sure that this was the right thing for me... Then the secret was just finding the right doctors to write the referral, by asking other trans people where they got theirs, then it went quite fast... What part of Germany are you from btw?
Middle of Germany. The endocrinologists that are present here have waiting lists of about 10-12 months as I heard.
Ah damn, I'm in southern Bavaria and had luck getting an appointment in half that time. Don't forget you also need an "Indikationsscheiben" from a psychologist for getting hormone treatment.
But anyway, hormones are not everything and there are many steps on the way that you can do yourself like learning makeup und amassing a female wardrobe and most importantly finding the courage to open yourself up to the world and just being yourself, something unfortunately you have to do yourself. Find allies, especially female ones because they always sort out clothes from time to time, almost my whole wardrobe is second hand ๐
I know. I havent even gotten to writing to the next endocrinologist for getting on their list. I have my second appointment (out of three) for getting an Indication on Monday. Learning makeup is also something I started doing today (looks quite good tbh). My warderobe does contain some skirts, even though I havent gotten the courge to go out with one that often.
