Fuuuuck im sorry 😭
I really feel bad about the privilege honestly, cause i walked into my first appt told them i want estrogen and speech therapy and electrolysis and i want it now. And i walked out with E in hand and referrals to speech and electrolysis clinics.
I want that for all of you! Fuck anyone telling anybody what they can do with their own body i hate it it makes me sick
nonononono it's fine. I'm happy for you that it was so easy! I think we should share our experiences and stories, and not feel guilty about having it better than others.
It took me about three months to get my estrogen. My doctor required an informed consent form and initial blood test, and my wife required cryopreservation. But other than that and then this with the electrylosys limbo it's been pretty smooth sailing.
What makes me more sick is insurance refusing to state whether they are going to tell me what to do with my body or not. I have other options available, but I don't yet know if those will be needed.
I should probably ask about a speech therapy referral. My biggest thing is being scared of asking, not going for the next thing immediately. I'm taking things slow, and regretting that choice every step of the way.
Aww thanks 🥰
I wish you truly the best of luck. Dont wait too long none of us are getting any younger lol. Insurance crap does suck pretty much everywhere else, but im rooting for you and all the other girls! ❤️❤️
