2 yrs not joking. its hard as fuck and it sucks biba, do you have anyone local who can help you get to all the places and like give u company and venting room? honestly being able to talk about it helped a lot. i kno it feels like you're never going to get there but you just have to take it one day at a time. if you get through 30 one days you've gotten thru a month

you will get your prescription, no matter who's trying to mess it up for you. you're gonna be okay, and we're going to have an amazing 2016 just to fuck w the haters

i've seen a lot of people say it took them 2 or more years to get and that's so frightening that people have to go through that, i feel like there's so much i'm learning through this process

i'm the nona on the last page venting about suicidal stuff and fathers, we live in a pretty rural and the nearest city for trans groups let alone clinics is several hours away so its frustrating working with local clinicians who are super ignorant and keep lying to me about what they're doing for me

it's just frustrating but obviously people have waited longer and survived so i just need to remember that

thank you we are definitely going to rule 2016

fuck thats the worst. its awful but true that a lot of clinics especially outside of metropolitan areas, even if they're working with the best of intentions, just can't/don't/wont keep their staff up to date about how the process works. its ilke trying to have ur semi clueless friend help u w ur shit except in this case its vital medical care.

im so sorry about your dad. family is the hardest and worse and like i remember having this whole plan of 'somehow i will raise 39402348230k and go live in a one room in seattle just to make this happen. obvs that didn't happen but i finally did get the Rx

its ok to feel bad and discouraged, we're all here/have been there with you even if living in the ass end of nowhere keeps us from having like swanky trans coffee dates

(srsly my friends brother is in Sydney australia and goes to like a cafe week group w 8 other trans ppl idek if i irl know 8 other trans ppl)

omg lmao for a few years i honestly was trying to save up to move to seattle because i read all these trans women moved there and things improved but its like over 1k for rent there on average so those plans are dead in the water

at the very least family in this instance can't stop me from getting the medical care i need, its just trying to be patient and work with whatever the system expects of me

i was at least able to travel with a (cishet lol) friend to the nearest city's trans pride to experience being together with other people but then it feels like i'll never get that experience again because its over 3 hours trip one way and that's just not feasible to do often
