Hi bestie

Bummer that it is to wait so long just for a consultation, I’m glad that I got the ball moving for certain, more intense steps of my transition.  There’s precious few doctors that do this sort of care, so the waitlists are understandably long.

Who knows what the political situation is going to be like in a few years?  Given how disgusting Republicans have been regarding the transgender community (and frankly, everything), will this sort of care even be legal for me to receive by then? 

Will I be someone that waits years for a consultation, then another few more to actually get my procedure, only to have it cancelled at the last moment because it will be outlawed, or policy changes will affect what my insurance will cover, leading to me no longer being able to afford it?

Uncertainty is a part of life and we do the best we can. 

It’s a shame that there are people among us that create additional uncertainty and stress. 

If you’re someone that intends to have more invasive medical procedures as part of your transition, maybe drop a line to clinics sooner than later.  Get yourself on these waitlists.
