Edit: Seeing

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.

    Having to wait for only 1 year would have been amazing

    I have to wait for at least 3 years to begin the process of trying to get HRT(4 and a half years after discovering i was trans)

        No offense, but you don’t need to medically transition.

        You should wait as long as you’re okay with - and we don’t know how this person feels about waiting.

        It’s a bit of overkill to say it’s stockholm syndrome…

          No offense, but those who don’t want to medically transition should not involve themselves in conversations of medical transition. Fine if it’s not for you. I’ll respect that. But in turn, if you don’t have an interest in medical transition, then you don’t really have the right to an opinion on it. Trans people are a broad umbrella, but that does not mean we are identical and that our needs are the same. If you don’t seek medical transition, fine, live your life. But don’t tell others how to handle issues that don’t apply to you.

          And yes, if someone is waiting YEARS for HRT, they damn well want to medically transition. And they clearly say they don’t like waiting. Seriously, who wants to wait years for medical care? This hypothetical person you’ve concocted doesn’t exist.

          They’re clearly being gate kept by an abusive medical system that treats trans people like shit. And yeah, if you’re willing to wait so long for a system that so clearly hates you? You have been conditioned to love your abuser.

          The only reason to put up with such a wait list is for access to surgery. But for HRT, no one should put up with that kind of abuse.

            Look. You have no clue on their situation is my point.

            Chill. Also, where did I say I didn’t want to medically transistion?
